From what I read in Paul's book it doesn't matter whether you direct the fans inward or outward just as long as they are all the same. You want to create either a negative or positive air pressure and the heat will migrate on it's own (it will anyway, just not fast enough without a pressure gradient).

Hmm. Ok so I will have:

Pulling air out of the case:

• two 120mm fans on the radiator @ 58.3 CFM
• The Fan on the Ultra X4 850w
• Possibly 2 or 3 GTX295 (Depends on pending sponsorships)

So If I go negative pressure I would want just a single 120mm pulling air into the case right?

Well, technically pulling in anything short of the exact amount that your pushing out of the case would create negative pressure. I've always understood that it's best to have neutral pressure, so that you don't build up pockets of air trying to escape (positive pressure) or not have enough air flowing through (negative pressure). With neutral air pressure, you have exactly the same amount of air coming in as going out, and as a result, air is constantly flowing at a steady rate through the whole thing.

One thing to keep in mind as well (idk if you've already taken this into account, just throwing it out there) is that fans on a rad aren't gonna push anywhere near as much air as those same fans not on a rad. Really only matters a lot when you're shooting for neutral though, I suppose.

I spent some time in sketchup tonight modeling the Armor+ from scratch. I am no where near finished but it is to scale and will provide me a virtual place to test out ideas before I commit to them.

So here is what I got finished tonight.

[Oneslowz28]

Sponsored gear came in from Thermaltake today. I am going to have to get in touch with them though as the top plastic on the case was broken in 2 places. One under the Power and HDD leds and the other was the peice that holds the top of the right door in place. One other thing that was damaged was the FlowTX Plus. The threads were stripped out on the inlet side. The damage to the case was due to shipping I think as the box is pretty beat up. The Flow indicator damage had to have occurred at the factory as the package was not damaged and still looked factory sealed.

Here is what they sent.

Armor+ Black
Coolant 1000 1000ml coolent kit
TMG2 Dual 120mm radiator with fans
Water level indicator Rez kit
WB200 North Bridge Water block

I have my table full of stuff at the moment so as soon as I get it cleared off I will post some pics

this will be one sweet project. im at the edge of my seat in anticipation. at least, til my asscheeks fall asleep. then I wont sit at the edge of my seat anymore.

lol

[Luke122]

OK, enough seat-edge-sitting, get some freakin' pics up here already!

[Oneslowz28]

Pics will be up tonight. Camera battery charging now. Went through both of them at the baskeball game the other night... Time to buy new batteries.
