    Not sure how into electronics you are, but this thread here on bit-tech may be useful (the last post is the simplest, but untested in the thread, maybe worth a try?)

    atx specification link but you'll need to convert inches in mm (as a French, I assume you are using metric system)

    120 mm fans have 4.3 mm holes (usually) at 105 mm (always)
    140 mm fans have 4.3 mm holes (usually) at 125 mm (always)

    THank you, but it looks pretty complicate to find all i'll need to realise this PWM controler.

    Too much work for a lil' result. I'll use my 140mm LasVegas 120 CFM. Still good 120 CFM no?

    are you looking for just the layout? For example, the center hole where the fan is, and where the 4 mounting holes are?

    if that's the case, Bill from MNPCTECH has some nice templates you can print out, just make sure you select scaling: none when you print:

    HI everybody,

    Sorry for the long time enlapsed since my last post, but i need lot of materials, especialy aluminium.

    It's very complicate to find the good dimensions of my future aluminium case.

    I calculated the perimeter of the case, and i realised it was more than 2000mm. In fact 2442mm and i absolutly want to do the case in only one piece (except the front and the rear panel).

    Can you imagine?!!!

    So, i'm waiting estimations from retailers..

    But i was thinking about one stuff, i'll probably move back the MOBO and make wires connections on the I/O rear panel. Like that, i'll have less cuts in the rear panel and that will be more refine. What do you think about this new idea?

    Big problem, i can't find aluminium plate longer than 2000mm...

    So i'm disigning(again) the case with news proportions to make the case in only one piece..

    Pour l'Aliminium, tu trouvera ton binheur chez WEBER METAUX rue de turennes Paris 11ème. Ils ont un site internet et tu peux leur demander un devpar mail ou fax.

    Pour les découpes à eau sous pression, je ne sais pas. en revanche j'ai une adresse pour la découpe laser... je te l'envoie si cela t'interresses...

    I really like the idea of this case but only if it's done correctly as it look like removing the board is going to be very difficult, unless the middle divider will be removable.Also you may need a powerfull fan to remove the heat from the GPU cards section reminds me of HP servers Heat extraction technique.May i suggest this, mounting extraction fans above the cards as well as or instead of.
    Will be following Good luck Buddy.

    I know, there are lot of difficulties. But it's just a 1st draw. The MOBO will be on an aluminium plate sliding in the case like a drawer in furnitures.

    And i have a quite good hardware congiguration, so i think i'll not change it yet...

    And many thanks for yiur interest!!! :thumb:

    Have to go back to my :dremel:

    Just plug it onto a 3-pin to molex 4-pin adapter. It will leave out the 4th pin on the fan which controls speed (I think). I don't think the 4th pin is necessary.

    For a "normal" 4 pins fan, your tip is the right thing to do, but it's a special DELTA model fan, there is a chip/processor who control the fan even if you have the adapter you talking about. I already did your tip, but the fan still run with pulsions...
