Those 2 were takin' out of an old school Humidifier....there 8 inches wide each and those tubes that r the fans "casing" are 7 inches long/deep.....between the 2 of them theres well over 350CFM of air passign through my case......and yes......they are mounted onto my side panel...as you can see......its almost enough air to blow over my case.....
Fans are adjustable, as u can see the controller sitting on the top of my case.....it allows me to select either 1 or 2 fans aswell as the speed =)
What do u all think???
BTW i jsut thought I'd say today is my 19th Birthday =) Im getting old....wow!!!

Looks awesome. My only suggestion would be to add some sort of a dust filter (stockings work, which I happen to keep next to my shotgun in my car for cash emergencies).
Also, what are you using to power those two fans?
19? You old bastard! It's all downhill from here...

Heh heh. Do your hard drives suddenly go blank from all of that EM radiation?
Cool though. It's probably about the same as when I was running Honeywell "Super Turbo" high performance fan (AKA a little, yet powerful, desk fan) at the side of my case with the panel off. At low speed it was pretty quiet too.

Those are regular average watercooling solution temps!
Wow, all I can say is, WOW.
If it's silent, then you got a damn nice mod there, one that should be added in some books or encyclopedias of PC cooling!
Only thing I have against it, is the bad look, if you can isolate that look by modding a casing around it, it'd be nicer, I think this makes the PC look a bit too monstruous, nothing to be happy looking at IMO.
How much did the entire cooling cost?

When buying an AthlonXP, please make sure the bus is at 133MHZ, or you will get a lower speed!
Wow, man that is nice. Talk about "homemade" cooling, hehe. That reminds me of a similar setup my friend has with his Athlon XP. The fans are so loud, you get a headache after a while.

well at low speed its virtually silent..........and full speed its liek a tornado in here =)
as for the look.....no, its not attractive at all, but its very interesting looking.......id liek to mold some casing around it sure.......but yea thatd be hard.........plus i wasnt goign for looks....nor do i really care what it looks like =)
As for cost......it was free........ =)
I took those fans out of an old Humidifier.....i cut and bolted the fans on myself....so with the eception to 2 screws and 4 nuts and bolts.....it was free =)
