The ultimate in fan cooling?

[DaJe]

Found a case on Newegg that comes with a 360mm side fan built in

Kind of like when your computer starts to get too hot, so you pull off the side panel and put a fan on the floor blowing at it.

dam, now i'm jealous, i only have a 250mm fan...

i wonder how much air it pushs.

here is a review of it http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Xclio/3060Plus/1.php If you actually got that case it looks very easy to mod :)

That is pretty crazy.

Looks preddy cool.
How you figure all the air from that huge fan exhausts?
Looks like you'd almost have to mod it to prevent the fan from burning up.

I guess all it needs now is a matching car radiator. :)

Here we go, its a perfect fit:

360mm = 120mm x 3

That would be quite a rad setup!

rofl, that's actually a good deal. looks like 3 3x120 rads just put in an enclosure.
$50 a rad compared to ~$100 @ DD

9 fans though? I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't buy it now that you showed em the link.

mmmm....interesting...

Tha'd look preddy kewl with that radiator in there.
I guess you'd have to suspend or hang in inside the case somehow.
Custom mounting bracket? with Pin Hooks . .like you'd slide into a groove. .

that 9 x120 rad is crap, its just three 3x120mm rads slapped together with a shroud (thats what it looks like anyway, it could be endcaps only so its a six pass rad). if i had the cash i would get that then 18 of these (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=49&products_id=20848) delta fans. they get 220CFM each, that times 18, wow! but that would be 899.10 for 18... crazy!

How much noise would a fan that size kick out? Still looks a pretty awesome case, though not sure I'd want that massive panel on the side sticking out like that. But then if you need all that air flowing through then I guess the needs must. :)

not much, the larger it is the less rpms it need and as a result less noise, my 250mm fan does 650rpm, 17dB(A), 90cfm.
