Howdy.....Basically I'm just looking for an opinion here...

I use a Thermaltake "Armor" case which I absolutely love. I intentionally chose this case for the air cooling factor, and its versatility if I choose to upgrade. I'm running three five inch and three 90mm fans at the moment....The 90mm fans are quality, low noise TT's..

Anyhoo. When I first purchased the case, THIS: http://www.pccasegear.com/prod3764.htm was not available.....

I sort of have this lunacy with lower temps.....anything above 40 degrees annoys me. I often just sit an extra 5" blowing straight onto the board for the hell of it....this drops a couple of degrees, even under load. The everclear on the chipset was a significant improvement...

Is it worth the dollars for the new door with the fan already in place? Or would that money be better spent on a Dremel, and I start tracing circles?

Tis a bloody big fan (25cm) that spins at 600 rpm which means pretty low noise.....

Whatcha reckon....?

I have that panel on the side of my case And personaly love it. As far as temps go it helps keep everything nice and cool at stock clocks. The only problem I am having is keeping the pwmic cooled when overclooking.

If your going for the best cooling possible I say start cutting holes and wait for some better 250mm fans to come out. And yes the thing is very quiet, Puts out about the same amount of noise at 7 and 12 volts.
