yeah 19 in total. i spent 2 weeks planning the proper ventallation i wanted for the case. i cant sit beside the comp without a jumper on its got fast air flow and its chilly.

yeah good point.

didnt know which one to go with and i wasnt sure if the blue orb would support quad core, but its performing great and looks amazing

as above ^^

it comes like that. wouldnt have the abilities to make something like that.
only cripe i see is you cant change the text
so im stuck with
thermaltake (temps) and noice level.

More fans doesnt mean its better, with that setup you lose a lot of direction, so the air is scattered among all the components. I would bet you would have lower temps with 1-2 high velocity fans in the front and back.

when i got the case i did a lot of tests with airflow and found the had a few blockages. so i changed the directions of the fans etc.

i had a lot of dead air in the case so thats why there is extra fans here and there to keep it moving. air is brought in from the window side, and sucked out at the top, bottom, front and back.
so far ive had no problems with temps at all and they seem to be holding a lot cooler than usual.

How do u like the lexa cause thats the case im getting for my first build.

royalmarine

love the case. very sleek looking.

and its gorgeous untouched! but i drilled millions of holes in mine for cables

the red one is nice, but i think its too wierd looking. dont like the mirror finish one. the blue one that i have with the black face plate is by far the best.
