...Lady F like yours too wish my back looked like that though I have done a bit of LED and Fan modding - well thats my excuse. By the way are those Arctic fans if so I reckon they are top gear and way underrated in my view.

Thanks! The fans aren't Artic. The case fans are Thermaltake AF0018 120mm 800-1300 rpm with an attached speed control pot. I guess Thermaltake intended the pots to just dangle from the cable attaching them to the fans since there is no mounting bracket on them. I had to fabricate brackets to mount them.

The fan on the CPU cooler is a Gelid Silent 14 PWM 140mm 750-1200 rpm. The fan that came with the cooler was a cheap looking 120mm that left a rim of nickel plated steel around the fan that looked totally tacky. The curious thing is the fan runs at around 680-690 rpm when the computer is idle.
