Make sure that your power supply can provide all the fans with electricity. Especially if there is many hard drives and cd-rom connected. Myself I use a power supply 235 watt manufactured by Tiger. Fortunately it can handle all six fans in the case including PSU, GPU and CPU-fans. On the other hand there is only one cd-rom and one hard drive inside. But a 300-watt is recommended.

Front-fan - Ok, lets see what I have to do to get those bad guys mounted. The first thing I did was to wipe out the logotype of the manufacturer on the front. For those who live in Sweden or Finland might recognize that logo. That company does nowadays not exist but that’s another story. I used some nail-polish remover, which appeared to be very effective.

If we look where the front fan is supposed to be you can se that the metal is perforated. The fan holder is that plastic thing.

Those holes are not good enough if want a good airflow. So I got rid of the plastic holder and cut open a hole fitting the 80 mm Papst fan. The fan itself fitted behind the front of the case. That made it necessary to place the hole bit higher.

Here is the fan in its real position. Fortunately the front cover is hiding my not so good handwork. Of course I had to make a new hole for the fan grill in the front cover. Please continue to read and you’ll see the result later on in the article.
