Ok, i have a nice TT armor case. And i bought the one that comes with a 25cm side mounted fan. But heres the thing. I have water cooling, and i dont think i really need the big fan on the side since im colling most of the components with water.

Should i keep this side panel with the fan, or sell/trade it on here?

Well if your ambient temperature is good then why not ? the WC does mostly the importend cooling and the case already has 4 fans for a good airlfow....

if i where you i would look if you can trade it cause the fan only makes more noise and brings more dust into your rig

Dust yes, but noise, not at all. It is truely dead silent. You cant even hear it untill you stick something in it lol

I would keep it. It will cool the mobo, mosfets, and other parts. Since its so quiet and not really in the way theres no reason to get rid of it. Plus I dont think you will get much for it.

I'd suggest keeping it. It's still adding cooling to your system, stuff that the water doesn't touch such as the ram, hard drives etc. Plus it shouldn't be loud and it looks pretty awesome.

You and I have the exact same Cambridge SoundWorks speakers.......I bought mine in 2001 and have the 4.1 system connected via the digital out with my Audigy SB which I also bought in 2001.

And Keep the side panel, better air-flow, will keep other parts that are not being cool by water.

I'd say keep it, but if you want I'll trade you my side panel for it, lol.

id keep it for sure. if it drops mobo/ram temps it could mean you can squeeze a little bit more of oc if your parts are cooler if not it still looks sweet as hell

Really? What speakers do you have? i ahve the DTT2500 Digital 5.1. They were very nice when i had them hooked up. Now i have a Z-5500. I sorta customized the little sub and tuned it for much lower frequencies, it would shake the floor.... But now its all sitting in my closet collecting dust.

So i geuss im keeping the side panel judging by the poll results.

I would keep it because think of how much a shipping box for that panel would cost. That kinda ruins and prospect of making money on it so just keep it.
