| AsanteSoul | You sprayed the fans? With what exactly? Just regular spray paint? It's quite nice! I like that it is subtle, and very clean as well.. |

This one was for a good friend so it was done for pleasure more than anything else. As for the controller...You could get away with 2 Kazes per channel,i chose to run 1 fan per channel and have the ram fan on a 7v step down on the mobo. Hmmm, I've got these Panaflo fans which say the input wattage is 6.5W: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3142
If I never want to run them at full speed though, could I just link up two per channel to the Recon controller and have them be basically fine? |

B-Neg, what was your setup like with the fan controller? I ask because I've bought that one as well, but am now regretting it after seeing it's only 10W per channel and I've got 4 big 38mm guys on my rad. How did you handle which fans went to which node and how limited were you by the power constraints? Also just curious if you mind sharing what you'd charge for doing a system build like this, I've always considered the idea of getting a machine done by a pro like yourself and I think seeing this log sold me on the idea. Feel free to pm it if you want, or if it's private and you don't want to say, that's fine too.

I like the Bitfenix Prodigy but that doesn't really fit the military theme |

If not, removing all the lower drive mounts will at least allow for another much beefier 240mm rad. Must have.. MOAR RADS!
