Can I improve airflow in Xaser 3 case?

[Robc1880]

I have the Xaser 3 case with the stock fans that came with it. I was wondering if there is any other 80mm case fans that I might be able to switch to that might push more air at roughly the same DBa lvls? Or is there a way that I can change the case to hold 120mm fans? I know it's not made for them but maybe someone here can give a few pointers to change it so it could.

Well... I don't know the specs of the fans in those cases but zalman 80mm fans move a good ammount of air and when you put that little resister on that comes with them they are very silent. I'd recommend some papst 80mm fans to ya but I don't think you can get those in the US. I got 2 while I was in Germany on a trip and they are VERY quiet/powerful. If you are in Germany get some! The closest thing would be panflow but I haven't seen anything below a 92mm fan made by them.

You could always cut a 120mm hole in the side of your case or something but If you don't feel comfortable doing that then 80mm zalmans might be the way to go.
