So true... Defo we all know the cops are here to protect the rich pps and not us the real people. Seriously... i drive a 1988 Toyota ... And the damn cops would rather stop me and talk trash, than pull over some crazy ass rich kid in a 2009 CLK 55 AMG. Police tow trucks rather pick up damn 20 yr old Yugo's and Toyota's than any other car - "if it looks like crap, pick it up" motto... Omg im going berserk here

What do you guys think...

My rig (read nfo under nick), thinking of running as fanless as i can.
My accelero s1 can definately run fanless (40oC gaming / 50-55oC benchmark), and im thinking of removing the CPU fan on my HR-01 Plus, and just leave front intake, top exaust and PSU fan...

U guys think its doable?


Looks like this for now...

Is it just my eyes or has removing the hdd cage made it to flimzy? The circled areas look to be bent.
I have though about removing mine but don't want the case to fold in half.

It may be bent but not because the HDD cage is removed. Mine has been removed for months, and I pick up, take apart, and move around my case all the time and it is plenty rigid.

I have modded mine for a 240 rad in the botttom. I don't have pics of a rad in there (although I have one, I'm air cooling at the moment), but if you look a few pages back or so there are some pics showing two 120x38mm fans in the floor where the HDD cage used to be.

Nah its not flimsy, its just the reflection on the glossy paint... Case is still strong and rigid... I didnt even use rivets to reassemble 5,25" bay... just used zipties and its still going strong!



Oh and i see no one has an opinion on running fanless on my CPU?!
