Project: LEXA

Yeah the bolts were just for looks. I didn't want to use glue because it would probably come through the mesh and look like crap. The bolts will also help with the holding because I know that the mesh will start to bow in the center after the filing and drilling, even if I beat it flat afterwards.

I don't have a picture update at the moment guys. One of my teachers lost one of my assessment essay drafts so I have to re-do it (the downside of not having a PC to use to start with). I do have a matter I would like to discuss with you though.

When I get my new radiator I will be requiring 2 new 120mm fans for cooling. which fans should I chose?

Silverstone Suscool 121 120mm Case Fan:

Zalman ZM-F3 120mm Silent LED Fan Blue:

Antec TriCool LED Fan 120mm Blue:

CoolerMaster Silent Blue LED Fan 120mm (2pk):

This is why I have chosen these fans.
Silverstone - quiet plus comes with a thermal sensor, colours look ok, may shine under UV light

Zalman - quiet, 4 bright blue LEDs, doesn't noise levels and speeds (can't find a cfm rating)

Antec - built in variable speed controller, bright blue LEDs, descent cfm and noise ratings

CoolerMaster - basic, silent (I have one already), pack of 2

Can you help me out? I am leaning towards the Antec because I have an 80mm version of that fan and find it really good. The Zalman one may also be good but I can't find a cfm rating so I don't know about them.

Going on looks alone I would choose the Silverstone Suscool 121. Dont think it would glow under uv, nothing a little uv paint wouldnt fix though.

Case feet look good, the bolts do add a bit of detail - looking forward to more!

Thanks for your input Xperiment. I am still considering which fans to get. The Zalman ones look quite enticing but I can't find any cfm ratings for them so off the list they go. I will probably get the Antecs. They are good fans, I have 2 80mm versions of them and couldn't be happier, they are expensive though.

have you considdered the new noctua fans? i just saw them the other day and the look slick you should check it out

I have seen the Noctua fans but I was looking for something with LEDs.

Good news guys. I have placed my order with GAM and should hopefully have my radiator by the end of next week (if I can get to the bank tomorrow ).

I haven't been able to do any modding this past week because the end of term is approaching and I have a lot of assignments due. Also it is my Birthday on Monday (7th April) so there will be no modding this weekend either PARTY!!! lol. Well I hope to have an update on the case feet by the time I get the radiator. I need some more bolts and domed nuts but that stuff is easy to get. Until then...

Happy Modding.

Small update. My order was successful and my radiator is on the way. I should have it early next week. Also I have decided to get a pair of 120mm Antec Tri Cools to cool the radiator.

Time for a special birthday update.

I left school early today (had a double study after lunch, stuff staying for that) and when I got home guess what was waiting for me???
Yes you guessed it, my package from GAM Mods. THANK YOU GAM!!!!

So this is what was in the package:

Here is my new radiator, 1/2" fittings and a fill syringe:

A sneak peak of how it will be mounted:

And a underside shot:

Plenty of room...well there is now since I removed the rear feet.

Well guys, time for me to get back to the home work and on my birthday too . I may finish off the feet this week and get the radiator mounted over the weekend. This is my last week of term so once I get this radiator mounted my work is almost done, then the whole thing can go together. Until then...

Happy Modding.
