Post your commentI dunno... the top window is cool. But aside from that, there somehow is no "wow-effect" for me. Could also be because the pics are a bit dark.
Remove those fan grills from the side window, they look deplaced there.

by: MRCLThanks for the compliment on the top window. I spent alot of time testing the airflow with different windows and this was by far the best configuration, so the side fans are kind of a necessity. (The 2 side 80s mix w/ the 2 front 80s to "wind tunnel" up to the top 92. About 1/2 of the airflow is grabbed by the 2 rear 80s to pulll over the CPU cooler and up to the PSU; the side 92 feeds the CPU coolers 92 and helps flow the 4850 heat out the rear vented slots. CPU 24C Idle, 41C Load; VGA 66C Idle, 88C Load; RAM 27C Idle, 34C Load) I have tried multiple fan grills, but cannot find a set that looks good. Got the Biohazards for xmas and thought I would give them a shot. I think I will keep them for a while.

The main goal was to eliminate all the wires besides the SATAs. Thanks for the vote and the opinion. I always appreciate it.
