Haha, yeah =p It's kinda dusty on the front air filter, guess it's time to clean it. It has a total of 6 case fans.

I modded the the Lian-Li PC-60B with a dremel. It was a lot of fun and very satisfying.

- cut 3x120mm (one top blow, two side intakes) fan slots; installed grills and 3x 120mm Panaflow M1A fans

- cut out the original 80mm back fan mesh to a 92mm; installed a grilla 92mm Panaflow M1A fan

- cut out the original 2x80mm front fan mesh; replaced with two grills and installed two qua-led fans

- two front case intakes are hooked up to the factory fan controller, the rest of the fans are routed and hooked up to the black6-channel fan controller with three adjustable level, 0v-7v-12v. Super airflow and very quiet.

- added three black aluminum 5.25" drive bay stealth covers

- added a 3.5" black LCD thermometer monitoring the CPU and Video card temporatures

I was planning to add another 120mm fan on top of the RAM slots but then decided not to bother because I am on the transition of migrating everything to my T42. =)

It's a mini-dock. $80 (refurbished) + $30 shipping to Canada from ebay.com.

Jeepers!

OK, I give up: what do the switches with the blue lights do? If my lights suddenly go out when you flick that last one, I'll know...

The switches with the blue lights are undervolting the fans at 7V (much quieter). The red light is at 12V, their original designed spec. No light means no voltage so the fans aren't powered. The last switch controls my CPU fan, I can leave that switch off for a while and let my cpu passively cooled while having other case fans on before my cpu gets too hot. =p
