Not trying to be uptight - just it's a little loud - even with the fan controller - just wondering if the placement of the fans may have something to do with that.

those high cfm ones are probably the loud ones. even on lowest setting, they are fairly loud. esp those sunon ones.

i just placed an order for some green cold cathodes (and a chipset heatsink/fan) and now i really want to be able to show it off with a side window.

which would be cheaper, to mod my own or buy one..i dont have that much experience with that sort of modding, as the only thing ive done to my cm690 is #1 cut the stupid honeycomb bits out of the top and modded a little fan on the expansion holes.

Hey guys.

Could anybody give me some tips about spray painting? I plan on painting the inside of the case black.

Didn't touch it yet.

Just wondering about what do I need, going to get some of "car paint" cans I hear they're good and more cable extenders for the management.
Also taking out the stupid honey comb things and adding another fan at the front.

I'm thinking about 2 layers of black should do it, or just 3.

Since I'm taking the PC apart to install the CPU cooler once it gets here I thought It'd be a good time to mod the case.

But hmmmmm 2-3 days to dry and 2 weeks for the paint smell to disappear?

I can live 2 days without the PC but a week is pushing it @___@.
