Case Fans
The PC-6070 includes three 80mm fans of its own. Two are mounted at the front of the case directly in front of the drive carriage. These fans serve as intakes and blow outside air directly at the 3-1/2" drive bay carriage to cool installed hard drives. A second option would have been a larger 120mm fan, which would further reduce noise levels. Air is pulled in via a removable vent at the bottom of the case, directly in front of the first pair of stands. A reusable filter is also included.

The third fan is mounted at the rear directly below the PSU opening. This single fan serves as the one and only exhaust for the PC-6070. We noticed that in many other cases, two fans are used to exhaust warm air out of the rear. This imbalance could cause increased temperatures of components, lowering the overall performance. And since there are no other openings on the chassis, additional fans cannot be installed.

The power connectors are standard 4-pin leads with pass-through female leads. This allows the fans to be daisy-chained to other components as well as themselves.

Yeah the review formatting is screwed, rather disconcerting to read :)ripdude - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link
Good review, especially the noise-level.Could the new Coolermaster CM Stacker STC-T01 be taken in a review?
Sporting a 300mm fan I'm very anxious to see if this new case is as good as it looks.

This computer case has a bit more foam, and is much quieter:http://www.g-news.ch/articles/nhp200nc/

I would guess that anyone can buy foam and glue it in their case to reduce noise. I wonder if there is a place to buy it online?KristopherKubicki - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link

#2, I have the similar feeling.UlricT - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link
Is it me... or is the formatting screwed up? I see the bottom 1/2 of the webpage on top and the top 1/2 on the bottom. ;confused;dgrady76 - Thursday, March 25, 2004 - link
Nice, in-depth review, Mr. Purav. Also, thanks for the decibel level readings for similar cases. I bought a Fong Kai case on the recomendation of this site, and my lord if that case is not louder than my air conditioning, washer and dryer and vacuum cleaner combined.
