Dam right this isn't a way to cool your pc there's so many things wrong with this picture.
1.) its facing the wrong way.
2.) its resting on the cd-rom something is sure to get dmg.
3.) its butt ugly.
4.) its really not sexy....

Only the looks is the main issue here,
Objective done, to cool ur system
Only thing left is to beautify it, which is up to you, and it normally cost some..

Hey... this looks very similar to what I've done last week, except mine is with a 120mm fan.

In terms of looks, I think mine is worse. Will take some pictures and post here later on tonight.

With the filter (It's just light duty Scotch brite pads) on:


How it looks like with the filter off:


The fan secured to recycled CD holders:


The whole thing is resting on the 3½" bays and not secured to anything; I find it pretty stable.

just wondering, what direction does the air blows for your 2x 80mm rear fans??

cos usually the air blows outward towards the back as the casing draws air from the front

herzberg u can actually cable tie to the mounting for ur cdrom... i used like 8 cable tie... its more stable... and how come u use as intake? shld go out ma ... hot air rise to the top part of the casing n most likely ur processor is at the top also producing the most heat

The front Fan should be facing in such a way air is sucked in...

The air flows through the casing then goes out through the back exhaust...

Best if your cpu heatsink is blowing backwards as well... like OCZ vanquisher or CM V8 etc...
