Second front 120mm case fan.

[Bio-Hazard]

While we're on the subject of cooling, here's another small mod I came up with to improve the cooling of my Cooler Master Centurion 530. I like have as much air flow inside a case as possible with as little noise as possible, for this reason, the second front fan........... 8) And it sort of keep thing equal as I already had 2 120's exhausting air out of the case.With the Centurion 530 series cases having a full filtered mesh front bezel, adding a second fan was no real problem, all I had to do was come up with a secure, clean method to mount it so it directed the air to the area of the case where I wanted it to go, in this case, straight back to the CPY HSF.
What I ended up doing was taking some scrap aluminum from another mod, cut a 120mm fan munt into it and then cut and trimmed and formed the edges to fit the front panel under the front bezel. All in all I think it came out nce and clean and it works as intended............. :wink:

Nice! Very clean cut, what did you use?

Most of mine look like someone chewed the holes out of my case, I'm lazy and have tinsnips.... :oops:

I just use the front metal brackets that cover the fornt of the case. It doesn't look as cool as sbrehm's setup but it does the job.

Thanks.......... :wink:

I just use a dremel for the fan holes and I cut the straight line stuff with a table saw................. :shock:

Now it seems like Scyth is making a second front fan mod that fits in the extra 5.25 bay area of computers. .............. 8)
I should have taken the next step and marketed my idea.......... :wink:
