im thinking 200mm top pull fan and put the 4x100mm fans underneath pushing the air up (as hot air naturally does) but would need a bit of help from cable ties though

4 deltas would be sucking birds in thru the window

These fans are pretty bad ass... Got three of these on my rad. Not as mental as Delta's but can make a tornado.

ooft i just near wet myself when Ian just told me about this

i agree to the t+c but i do have 1 question,

a secondary hardware shot with with the screenshot in the background must also be posted.

does that mean you want a photo of the hardware running and the screen showing the bench score in the background? if so it means i need to go tap the old man up for his camera as tbh my phone isnt a great camera for detailed shots.

thanks tom and all at oc3d for this chance and to amd, biostar, scythe and kingston
