    Yes. Its poor form to call out someone in the title. I think someone mentioned this to you last time, just send a PM next time, or post in the other thread, no need to do this twice.

    I've merged the threads.

    yes, I suppose it would allow for a little more air-flow, but i doubt it would make a big difference (temp-wise that is). cutting them out would however make the fans alot quieter.

    also, we may have different cases afterall. the only 120mm fan mounting that my case came with is on the back panel. there were 80mm fan mounts on the top and side windows. the drilled holes they used as a "fan grills" make even a low-speed fans very loud. for the side mount, I cut out the opening and used a metal "wire grill" instead. for the top I threw out the cheap thin plastic window and replaced it with 1/4" clear acrylic and cut out a 120mm hole (and again, used a "wire grill").

    hope this helps, oh and BTW...

    I live on the east coast of the US, so I'm more of an "Atlantic person" :haha: :haha:
