In this tutorial I show you how to prepare and drill your case for a 120 mm case fan. The case in the video is the Lian Li and is the case my Brother will be using for his media center PC.

hi i thinking about moding the antec 300 side window,but i have no time and tools.do u think performance pcs will help me or do it for ,e.if so how much and where do i go?

[zoop425]

How would i attach a case fan to the side panel of my pc? if i attach a fan there i wont be able to remove the side panel because of the wire attached to the case fan.

@Pcyden014 plenty of cases have side panel fans. Just make sure you leave a bit of slack in the wire. If you want to get really fancy you can make a quick disconnect by making contact plates for all of the wires from the fan and power source.

What is that little flip-top looking piece on the top of the case nearer to the front? Like what's under it? USB ports?

[zoop425]

@SilverJigProductions yeah, usb, headphone etc..

Whole saw looks brand new!

And that metal edge below the frame does not really look good for all the work you put into that. I would take it apart and either file the crap out of it or color it black with paint / a marker.

Looks great.

Did it lower temps any (before/after)? or mostly just for fun?

Can you write the name and size of the tools you used in the video?

[nod103]

Where did you get that drill?

[StormTecify]

very good job

[Chrisguitar95]

@lifeisgood070 of course it would because he would use it as an outtake to remove more hot air from the case.

[Trook2008]
