Default Custom Case

I am planning to make a custom case with 9 fans on it. Hehehe, i HOPE i will get good temp !! Or it's maybe better just to detach the side cover and put a big fan in ace of it ? I don't know. Im not much for lightning effet, and iwant performance, so the 9 fans will probably be 84 CFM, 80mm. I don't care about the noise , lol

Im not much for water cooling. Since it's expansive, dangerous for leak, a pain when you change your mobo/cpu, ect. Air Cooling is much more interesting and simple. A little less effetive, but you need to study the airflow and find some fans with a maximum CFM. 32.5 is the base of all fans i think.. I saw some 84 cfm so i will use them.

What do you think ?

I also need a suggestion of a big case (not a full tower). that can be modded with a dremel. Basically i would need 1x120mm (or 2x80mm would be better) side-by-side on front, 2x80mm under the psu (so i would need to cut 1 more hole or 2 hole), and 3+ on the side cover. And one blow hole on top. All 80mm.

You will want to put a 120mm in the front that is rated at 130cfm
in the front to make up for all the fan on the side window...

Because there is a chance of making a dead air space right there at
your VC...

To much Airflow will make your temps rise...

You have to think that the way some cases are made, you get crappy
airflow with case windows off...

Cases are made to run better with the window closed...

But if you add more fans to the window and the airflow gets interrupted
you will get no were, and cause yourself heart ache...

Btw, about the 130 cfm fan, I am selling them super cheap! just found a goldmine of them. They are 130cfm 45db 120mm fans, 12v on 1.2 amps, weighing 256 grams. Thats liek half a pound. If you are interested at buyng it at a very low rate, pm me. And believe me, i sell em LOW. heres the maker's link http://www.jmcproducts.com/products/...120x38_12H.pdf
Btw, i own a ultra dragon, and its not that hard to dremel it, seriously.

And another thing, you can fit it about 4 80mm fans in the front if you make skirts for them. Or 2 120mm's.
