about 20 i think, and a fan alone is like 15 bucks and the speed ocntroller is like 40 or 50 so thats not a bad deal... unless u start buying more than 1 fan.

lol about 30% less i believe so its about a 22 dolar fan

best advice we can give you is to clean up cables and place fans in air flow...dont put 5 blow hole fans on top and one 40mm on side for intake...

btw, buy come pre-wrapped IDE cables, i got em and i tuck the ecess in the side...looks clean and nice glow with neon...

[Duffman]

i don't care what it looks i just want it to be at normal temps

[tesco]

maybe the temps are so high because the heasync fan isnt installed properly or there isnt ebough thermal paste\no thermal paste. You could buy that prety cheap or even get a whole new heatsync and that might fix ur heat problems or just buy some case fans and clean up the wires...

[Duffman]

well its stock cooling and i added a dvd burner and a new 7200 rmp hd and a video card

[tesco]

well if ur using stock cooling its most likely a thermal pad so i would seriously consider getting some thermal paste it could lower ur temps buy a lot if there is currently not enough contact with the core. But then again it could just be that the case is getting really hot on the inside and thats not letting the heat get away form the processor area.

clocker would be proud....

so clean and bautiful i wish i had the money to buy all those accessories that make the case look cleaner like lights, nice case, rounded cables, those meshes for the power supply wires and all thoise goodies...that'd be sweet.
