[QUOTE="vbap, post: 16102, member: 11549"] The new versions of the Arisetec cases (full ATX ie HT100,200, 400) replaced the 2x60mmm fans for 1x80mm fans. The fan grill was also changed to use a proper wire grille rather than machine-stamped holes. In my case, the 80mm actually never turns itself on - it's controlled by the motherboard and the temps never get hot enough to warrant turning on the fan. The CPU fan is the only fan in my system, and it's on it;s slowest speed (via Zalman fanmate). If I swap the zalman CPU fan for a panaflo, I could probably get rid of the very subtle clicking noise too, but so far, it's quiet enough to pass the WAF. :) So, if you choose the right components, then you may never need those 2x60 fans anyway... But I have my eye on one of these ([url]http://www.zylux.com.au/AHANIX/MCE301.htm[/url]), but that will require a change in hardware down to mATX (but even this tiny case has an 80mm fan!). My birthday is in August if anyone wants to chip in :P !! [/QUOTE]
