I read some numbers somewhere: In his case, it didn't make any difference (2-4 degrees C) in having just one low intake fan and one exhaust fan up top vs more than 2 fans intake at the 2 bottom and side panel, and having more exhaust fans up top. do you guys think it really makes huge difference that having so many fans, although seems uber cool, makes any considerable difference in lowering temperature in this case?

its good to keep constant airflow comming on to your cpu and gpu rather then recirculating hot air. the mroe fans the better. If u want to see if u have good airflow in ur pc case blow smoke into an intake fan and if there is any smoke in the corners or anywhere, then u need more fans

Just thinking of getting this case - what is the clearense on the back of the m/b tray - 25mm for the fan?

Why does no-one have a crossfire setup in it? any reason or just not that popular?
I will proably be the first with a crossfire setup then if i do end up getting the case.

Also, can the top mounted I/O ports be moved to a front drive bay?

u goin to need a slim 80mm fan.. think the width is 15mm.

would be nice if u got an xfire setup.. not many people have dual cards in general.

u can do a mod like that.. but its not a "stock" place to move.. the i/o ports are just held by screws.

the only fans that it comes with are front, 1 side, and 1 rear. stock fans rated i think around 30 - 40cfm.

there are approx 8 - 9 places to put fans. front, 2 side, 1 bottom, 1 rear, 2 top, 1 behind mobo, and 1 could be fitted in the 5.25" bay if u have room.

*edit*

LOL @ terrapcmod - hey! u da guy who created a different thread on posting 690 mods and have the CM 690 club link in sig without actually being in it! LOL . pretty good rig there ya got. looks sweet!

will add u and microsis into club. welcome
