Need a bit of help with my CPU
 
ok guys i need help with my computer case you can take a look with this link
http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/midtower/armorjr/vc3000bws.asp

ok i have everything running with it, i bought everything for it.. now all i need is a freaking FAN or something that lights up for the clearside case:confused:

heres the question should i get a blue led fan for the side case? which i think is a 92mm but might be 90mm. BUT isnt that just for ventalation? the site even sais so, but i think i can fit a fan in there.

or should i get some type of led light in my case? which to me seems like a the best idea. but i have no idea what to put in.

someone help me decide:dunno:

the answer is a fan adapter + dremel

most fans used in moden performance cases mainly those built by antex, thermaltake, or coolermaster are 80mm or 120mm a 90mm fan is rare at best. if you are an enthusiast chances are you have a small rotary tool lying around somewhere so heres my suggestion.

materials

dremel or variable speed drill w/ fine bits
120mm-80mm fan adapter
80mm fan
dremel
masking tape
fine marker
4 X anodized aluminum screws

instructions

place the adapter over the fan opening on the case
mark the screw holes w/ marker
use masking tape over the holes (so plexi doesnt crack)
mark the holes on the tape
use rotary or drill with a fine 1/8 bit
drill the screw holes
place the adapter on the interior of the case and screw it in
place and screw the fan onto the adapter
hook fan to psu
done!

make sure you dont apply too much pressure on on the plexi glass because it easily breaks if done right you can use this method on the case if you want to make another fan hole. (you can get this materials from any pc store with the exception of a rotary or a drill home depot, rona, or somethin)
