It would be quieter and more cooling depending on the 2 fans you would use. But quieter at least. The only probem is you have to make sure that your fan and cpu heatsink will fit inside the case.

Items needed:
1.Dremel + Cutting disk
2.Goggles
3.Bravery
4.Masking tape
5.Drill (Or drill bit add on to dremel)
Procedures:
1. Put a large amount of tape around the area you're going to be cutting.
2. Using a marker, trace the circle in which the fan will be, and the fan holes.
3. Put on the cutting disk, goggles, and get to it! Take it slow at first

4. Drill out the holes for the screws
5. Clean off the panel, and mount the fan.
Ta-da!

i see, yea cutting out the hole would be a pain and filing i know i will screw up at some point like filing too much and the fan doesnt fit properly. Ill just use the 2 120-140mm fan slots and get some high speed fans and put them on my controller. I might have to get another fan controller for all the fans. Would putting electrical tape on the edges of the fans that touch the case help quieten them down?

Also be sure to get your self a big half circle file to clean up the cut afterwards. Some 220 grit sand paper is good for deburring the inside edge. The dremel will work, but you will really need the file then since those silly discs only cut straight segments. I can tell you from the 250mm fan I have, it really is pretty dissapointing performance wise tho. Its there for the wow factor more than anything, and I assure you it will work really well to that end. However airflow wise it probably moves about the equivalent of 1.5 average 120mm fans. And its not even that quiet. For the best performance i would say use 4 120mm fans. Those you can cut with a hole saw really easy, and you would get way better actual performance and probably even less sound if you undervolted or had them fan controlled. |

I dont think the vibration is really bad but i think it will help shut up my high speed yate loons.
Problem with those fans is that they are sleeve bearing which don't last long as i'd like it to.

Try the electrical tape and if the vibration is that bad just get the fan dampeners. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185059 or these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185060 perhaps. I have the 2nd ones and they are pretty loud but move a ton of air. |

yea they are great i have two of them but one makes like a buzzing or whine on max speed, strangely my other one that exhausts air right behind the heatsink is not loud at all just hear the air moving. I suppose ill get a bunch of the yate loons and use the electrical tape to stop any vibration. Thanks a lot for the help everyone i really appreciate it you guys are the best. Now i have to get another fan controller which means more wires.
