Well, i originally decided i needed a new side panel when i started my tri-fire setup using 2 duo-orbs and a toxic (3870's).
i noticed my temperatures getting very high from all these video cards going full speed in games and whatnot.. =/.
here is my old window...
and that fan there was pointless as i now rely on front to back airflow to cool my cpu...
I decided to make an attempt at my very first custom panel and i believe it came out quite well!
all i used was a solid black panel that i ordered from Apevia by phone for $15 (cut the window with a dremel)
some Rubber Molding
and some Honeycomb Modder's Mesh (spray painted black and holes cut in the mesh to mount the fans)
i just bought the acrylic locally at ACE hardware and got the panel laser etched at a local hobby shop.
This window has been working great, my gpu temps have dropped by alot and no longer overheat! tell me what you guys think
