This one suffered some shipping damage after it was modded. It's been stripped and shelved until I figure out where it's going. I have enough PC cases and stuff here to keep me busy for a long time...so this one is just going to gather dust.

Heres some pics:
Side window in which I broke the plexiglass cutting it out:
Front 120mm Fan cut out the grill:
Rear 80mm fan grills cutout:
And one of the messy inside, dont ask about the HDD......
Plus I have cut out the diamond design on the mobo tray for extra airflow over the back of the mobo
I still need to drill a screw hole for the vid card to secure it. Work in progress!

I had a suzuki X7 when i was 17,was a two stroke twin,i had microns on it.Was a whole heap of fun that bike.Had a powerband at 5500rpm,and soon as it hit that it was a beast.
I made myself a custom psu plate for my pc201 case.Instead of two psu's,now it has the psu at the bottom and a 120mm fan above it.I am gonna fit some MM hdd plates to the fan and put my hdd's there.

All right guys. Throwing this out there.. I got the Pinnacle 24 case and I was wondering what the Safest way to wire all the fans together? I don't want to use a fan controller.
I will have 3 of the aerocool Xtreme 120mm fans for the front .50a
Then 4 Scythe Slip Stream 120mm fans for the top .53a
Thanks for anything and everything.

When I do stuff like that I cut the tach wire off and connect the reds and the blacks together and go.
If you use the mobo fan headers I remember hearing from a mobo mfgr thet the headers are designed for about .25A each so I never hook fans to the mobo (better to use all the power for important things)
a normal small PS wire is between 18ga and 16g. They can handle about 16-22A (thats a LOT of fans)
the tiny used in some fan plugs is about 24-26ga and that can handle 2 to 3A.
Try to give your self a bit of extra room (dont run 4A on a 3A wire) and you will be safe.
Also wires in free air (not wrapped in tubes or sealed) can handle even more power as the airflow around them carries away the heat.
One other thing--- if you wire a 12V fan (pos) wire to the yellow of the PS and the fans black wire (ground) to the red wire on the PS(5V line) the fans will spin slower and use about 7V.
(handy to slow down really fast fans)
LOL, Deja Voo

all right, so just throw out the yellow wires, and go red and black.
So, if I wire the front 3 together, and use a extender to connect the 3 to the top, and then connect the 4 that will be on the rad. together.. It will be good? After all that connect it all to just one molex connector and then psu?
Deja Vu! Da be it! D... I see you watching... call me man!

well if the fans were .5A (1/2 an amp) and the wire could run 16A than technically you could run up to 32 of the fans on a single line. (but I wouldnt, I may try 30)
With motors (and fans) Power needed varies, like a bit more to start the fan and while running less.
Thx Cold Storm for the good question..

all right. So, I'll be going to wire the fans up then. Get it all going. Place the order for the Aceocool fans, a sleeving kit for any odds and ends, then wait..

We took a WWE Shoe Box, ATi Pins, 3 Cathode, 4 80mm FAN, and 2 12v 1Amp plugs. Started using a 24v but kind of was scared of a house fire when the lights became super hot!
For the past few days(he has had a blast tho!)
TODAY!!!
TeH STAGE!
From the stage! Notice two power plug ins. I was using a 24v but then backed off that idea...
And the fight about to begin
The CROWD IS GOING CRAZY
Dimming the lights on count down
Red always on stage lights
THE FIGHT IS OVER!!!
A better look at the entrance

Considering it was done by a company (with 10x the resources of any of us) it looks very sloppy, add to that the dangerous light tubes (should have used LEDs built into the edges). They should have used thicker material, drilled it out and ran the coolant through the top/bottom panel.
