Although many dissagree, I think the Thermaltake Xaser VI looks amazing, but its airflow is kinda weak for my liking, I have an idea though: Erm... I have a picture but I dunno how to link it soo (how do link pictures from my documents), I'll explain instead... I plan on getting the mesh sided MX version - Then using a template, drill fan holes for this: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/220m...se-Fan-on-17cm-fitting-with-5-BLUE-LED-lights - 17cm mount using some fan washers (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2425.html) - one of the fans (lower) will intake cool air, then I will take advantage of the fact the warm air rises, and have another exhaust at the top Then another intake in the form of this: http://www.ginger6.com/components-coolers-ttake-a2309-icage-12cm-p-27616.html All I wanna know is, is my plan possible?
First of all, you can find free image hosting at Photobucket.com. Just go there, sign up and upload your pictures, then use the automatically generated text fields underneath each picture to paste into your forum post. Here you'd need the one in tags. You can also use Image Shack if you'd prefer. As for your airflow question: that fan is huge, so getting air inside the case shouldn't be a problem there. Having an exhaust at the top is ok, but depending on which direction you CPU coolers fan is pointed, it's probably better to have it at the back. However you can't fit a fan that big at the back, so see if you can turn your CPU cooler 90 degrees so that the fan blows towards the top. The huge fan at the front will feed air towards the bottom of the cooler. Where's your PSU mounted and which CPU cooler are you using?
CPU HSF isn't a problem, I need to get the image in, I chose the mesh version for a reason... the exhaust fan won't be at the top, it will be on the side panel mesh bit? gonna go sign up to photobucket, and ty btw, more advice appreciated
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SKIL-F01514...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=diy&qid=1249596102&sr=1-1 worthy match for a dremel?
Get a drill, and get one of those cutting circles, make sure it's the right size. You'll be able to fill your case with holes in no time.
No, im thinking 170mm holes, too big, its already mesh so I just wanna drill the holes for screws, thats why I chose the mesh version
Yes, it is a worthy match for a dremel, in fact you could call it a Dremel knock off. The Skil brand uses the same size arbor as the dremel, so any bit you find for a dremel will also work in the Skil, and at the lower price of the skil you can replace it when it burns out(it should last a while, but they are not known to be as robust as the dremel's are)
i have that rotary tool, im very happy with it so far (had it a few months now), however this is the only tool like this ive had so ive got nothing to compare it too. but its served me well
Try 200mm, or even 2x 140mm, unless you want silence. Then 200mm, why? 220mm is a bit uncommon, so it'l lbe a pain when you need to change out the fan. Also make sure of the mounts BEFORE purchase, some fans(*cough* scythe *cough*) are bigger but mount on a smaller mount(i.e 140mm advertised, but 120mm mounts.).
Cordless? In my opinion, when it comes to a high speed rotary tool: Cordless = no power = lame and if you are making some serious cuts, wouldn't want to have to stop in mid flow to recharge a battery, I would stick with a corded model.
I doubt you have too many power cuts where you live, right? Go corded. Of course, when you're missing electricity 6-8 hours of a day, that cordless MultiPro comes in mighty handy
Corded are much better. Especially when you know you can destroy almost any plate of steel when plugged in. Torque is awesome.
I finally got a corded Dremel. I've had a cordless one for years and it has let me down so many many times! The cordlessness doesn't warrant the nuisance of using a battery pack. Go cord!
Lol, torque is indeed awesome, but I thought the point of rotary tools is High rotational speed = less need for torque
No, that's only Dremels. Speed>torque when it comes to exercising control over the work you're doing. For sheer torque-y awesomeness it's hard to beat something like an angle grinder with a circular saw attached
