Hofy Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 Just an update on how my case project is coming along. I have all the holes punched now and only need to drill out the mounting holes and clean up the sharp edges. Here is the Unit I used to make those holes and the 4 1/2" hole on top. This GreenLee knockout set makes holes from 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" and can be yours for the low price of $1900.00 (I am glad I didnt have to buy it.)

ghen35 Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Were do you get those? I'll buy 10. Let's see, that's only $19,000. Cheap for what you get! <yeah, sure...> BTW, the case is coming along well. ------------------ There are NO substitutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Wow! These are cheaper than those Cary woofers or whatever the hay those things were.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 Actually it is cheap, our electrical department saved over $1200 buying it as a set. Comes in real handy for the commercial electrical work we do. ------------------ Mad Scientist at work! Klipschenstein! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeker25 Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Yes, I must say that those Greenlee Electrical punches are great, especially the hydrolic ones as pictrure above.I have a set that goes from 1/2" to 4 1/2" I use them all of the time on the job, I do alot of Electrical work, I'm a refrigeration tech/electrician. Those aren't cheap, I'll vouch for that!!! How many fans are you putting in your case? I wish that I had the extra time to do it myself, but i don't, so I'm just going to get the Tornado 2000 case with the fans already put in, unless, someone can suggest a better full tower case with the same amount, or greater amount of cooling already installed. ------------------ Beeker25 ------------------------ Let the BASS Kick!!!

Hofy Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 Our small sets cover 1/2" to 2". Bargin price of $800. I will have the following fans in my case. Video card area, 2 80mm Sunon fans rated at 36cfm. One fan drawing air in on the video card and one exhausting it out of the area. I am still working on the plan to isolate this area from the rest of the case. In the front I plan on using 3 more 80mm fans drawing in 108cfm total. 2 of these fans will flow air in over the hard drives. Up on top I am mounting a massive 120mmx38mm Sunon Exhaust fan. Good for 108cfm. Anyone starting to see the pattern? I am also closing off any other openings to the case to help control the air flow. I am also mounting the power supply outside of the case. This should help keep the heat of the PS out and aid in the control of the air flow. More to follow. ------------------ Mad Scientist at work! Klipschenstein!

Hofy Posted April 19, 2000 Author Share Posted April 19, 2000 I had a design change 15 minutes AFTER I ordered the rest of my fans. I am not isolating the video area. I am taking the video exhaust and makeing it an intake as this will send fresh air right to the processors. This allows me to reduce the number of fans in front from 3 to 2. So now I have 2 80mm (36cfmx2=72cfm) fans in front drawing in air. One 80mm (30cfm) fan in back also drawing in more air. And a fourth 80mm (30cfm) fan on the side blowing in on the video card. This totals up to 132 cfm intake. Well time to change out the 120mm Sunco (108cfm) to a YS Tek 120mm (131.5cfm) There much better. Now it is off to Radio Shack for the parts to build my fan bus to control all these fans. ------------------ Mad Scientist at work! Klipschenstein!

kimber Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 i thought you guys ran your systems "stock".do you need all that cooling(noise) for a non over clocked system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted April 19, 2000 Author Share Posted April 19, 2000 These fans are needed for a Duel Celeron system that will be way overclocked. I will be getting 2 400-500Mhz cpu and clock them to 600-700Mhz. Not to mention all the heat the new high speed hard drives give off. I will be installing a switching system (fanbus) for shutting some of the fans off when the system is not very active. ------------------ Mad Scientist at work! Klipschenstein!
