Airflow vs. Visually Cool

[Shaz]

I have an interesting decision to make. Mod a screen into the side of my PC. Or improve already good airflow with a big hole in the side panel and instead of plexi... or mesh... simply a wall of fans. 140mm most likely although i like the look of a 220mm AKASA fan I saw.

What should I do...

Integrate both designs? Mesh isn't going to impede you from using a 220mm fan or whatever configuration you decide on, and will retain the look you're going for.

It's whether or not the screen is a good idea or not that I'm unsure about. I'll probably add the mesh to cover the fans, I would like the screen for the e-peen but it's not really important. I want to replace my 15" monitor so it'll be a spare basically.

form over function :p:

Go for the screen! I have never seen that done before, and mesh? every case has mesh somewhere...

Buy a CM830, and forgo the mod. The easiest and simplist way to get what you desire. :yepp:

Or start from there.

I would except I don't really want to spend the money on a new case, I like the tower I use and it was free off a friend anyway.

And the modding is more fun.
