HI i'm Curtis, my antec lanboy fan configuration
- Thread starter Innocent159

One question: What are you trying to achieve out of this? Why not just go for your more average type build (one w//o 15 fans?) I worry about what the noise could be like. You'd have to get decent fans and 15 of which would be expensive. but it's your choice I guess it's just not my cup of tea

just one hell of a cool box which would with stand the hottest run. The noise not my concern i'll have the 3d sound to help with it and a fan controller to slow it

But there is just no point to 15 fans?

So you saying 15fans won't be cooler then 1?

Well obviously it will be but as long as you have a decent cpu cooler and aftermarket gpu cooler you need no more than 4 fans I would say

oh, but the Heatsink with the 2 fans would be enough for the cpu and the two fans for gpu

say i do use the 15 fans would that be i positive air flow and the right configuration for the best air flow?

Just buy a different case mate...
It'll just be loud as hell and you'll regret it

what do you suggest because i love the Lanboy design, all the air blow out and with the configuration of the fans lots of cool air in. i'll use a fan controller for the speed, sound an power usage of the fans. Also i'm not thinking of running all of it only when i over-clock or play top end games online.

sound isn't the problem, my pc i have now is in a compact area, thats why im going with the 15 fans for dust and cooling. + the case has place for 4 fans for gpu and cpu cooling each side

2 fans on the cpu cooler and 4 case fans I would think would be fine for most people

It's just not needed though tbh...
On the Corsair 300r you can put 2, 140mms in the front, and 2 140mms in the roof, then another 120mm in the back...
You dont need anymore fans that that at all.
You really dont need 2 fans for the gpu...
And sound will be a problem - trust me. And you dont need to use a fan controller - and with that many fans in your case, half the fan controllers will actually add noise

The build and i only use two fan controllers. the case takes two 120mm front, 140 mm top and 120mm at the back using that as intake you'll have a cool case because all the air goes in and out throught the whole open chassis design plus they supply 5 fans so i dont need to buy the extras, its just for future references.

The corsair 300R doesn't look as cool as the lanboy and with the pc world improving over night it won't be the choice for future references meaning the newer your components the more heat it produce and the lanboy won't be a problem for now ill just turn off the extra 10 to reduce noise and save power

I'm only using the 300r as an example. But I personall think the lanboy looks shit.
As for the components - they're getting more and more energy efficient and therefore cooler - so I'm not sure where you're getting that idea...

okay but i'll buy the lanboy maybe with less fans

With much less fans I'd say, with most configs you can't even fit all fans, here are Bill Owens thoughts about the case, I totally agree with him:

The only benefit of a case with so much mesh and 15 fans is that you don't need to hoover your room anymore, however the rig needs a clean every 5 minutes.
