@Alien: Glad you didn't take offence at the last bit of my post
I gather that pic is the
CPU AND SOCKET glued to the heatsink
Hope I don't get a parcel of you anytime soon
Was it Parcel Force that delivered it? Puts the
FORCE part into perspective then if it was!!
The 120mm fan indeed is the one that was hung under the HDD, it's now bolted to the chassis where I made the big hole
I also drilled holes in the case front, it already had an ideal pattern of indents in it which made drillng so much easier, I now have an 11 x 11 grid of holes in a 12cm square. Stuck some tissue paper inside to stop dust again.
The phone, I just taped the base station to the bracket using PTFE (Put The F***er Everywhere) tape, it'll do for now
Hmm.. A pair of tights! I can use a spare pair I have, err... they're for when I go fishing gov, honest!
The fan noise is not as bad as before too, so somethings happened! Either too much turbulence before or the side ones aren't spinning, can't see for the tissue paper
@Zing: They are only low RPM Silent ones in the side, didn't think they'd do much to upset the flow seeing as the rear fans are spinning much faster, that's if they are spinning as I mentioned above
I can easily unplug them if they're not needed, or can flip them round to blow out, or have 1 blow in 1 blow out etc!! Maybe use one of those smoke bombs my local plunber uses for testing the air draw of chimneys, stick in the front of the case and if I don't get much smoke coming out the rear of the case somethings up
