Case connections
Hey, I'm looking at the Thermaltake XaserIII V2000A for it's space and
cooling efficiency. There's provision for up to 8 casefans. I'm just wondering how you're supposed to power them? ie will they be connected straight to the PSU on separate lines, or is there some way of connecting the actual case to the PSU then the fans take their supply from the case? I've just been looking at the review at http://www17.tomshardware.com/howto/...review-49.html and saw the inside picture, there's quite a few cables sitting inside the bare case and I'm wondering where they're all (apart from the firewire and USB conns) supposed to go! Does anyone know of a more suitable case because this may be slightly OTT for my cooling needs. The space is good though! TIA PH |

I have the black version of that case - it's actually quite easy to get all
of the cables tidy with a bit of planning. The power supply plugs into the hardcano fan controller, then all the fans can run from that. The fans don't shift a whole lot of air, although they are quiet (especially when running on 7 volts) - get a quiet psu and cpu fan and the system is VERY quiet. They're good enough to keep my case temp around 25 degrees (5 above ambient). "P Hickey" wrote in message ...
