Masterpiece Midtower
This case is great stock, but it is even better when modded with FrozenCPU gear! I put a FrozenCPU 2x92mm blowhole window in the left case panel with Zalman 92mm LED fans blowing in. Put a 120mm Noctua fan in the case base plate blowing in. Now this case has absolute positive air pressure. The filter in the front of the 3 120mm fans is not fine enough to catch all the dry Montana dust. So I hot glued some ultra-sheer polyester fabric from Walmart to the back of the filter screen. I have been using the FrozenCPU Nibbler Tool to make totally precise cuts for all the mods. This case is great with tons of modding potential. Next, I will be replacing the 3 front LED fans with some from FrozenCPU that move more air. And to keep me busy I am going to put a modder''s mesh window in the right case side panel. Being all aluminum, this case is a breeze to mod. Highly reccomended! |

Better Airflow
Does what it''s supposed to do; better airflow in my case. It looks good, but it would look better if it had silver or gray boots too. |

Excellent Northbridge Heatsink, but...
Great heatsink. Lowered the Northbridge temp substantially. I have it installed on a GA-P35-DS3L, and even though it''s big it fits. This was a pain to install! You have to remove the mobo to install it (no biggie). However, the spring steel mounting clip is very strong. As you tighten the screws to pull the spring down the rubber washers squirt out the sides of the screw heads on the back of the mobo! Luckily, I had some fiberglass ultra-thin and extra-large diameter washers to put between the screw heads and rubber washers. I was then able to tighten the heatsink down securely on my Intel P35 board. Get some ultra-thin non conducting washers so you are prepared if you have a mobo with holes instead of loops and hooks. |

Great FrozenCPU Product
These look great on my dual blowhole FrozenCPU clear case window. Metal sreen is very fine mesh, so it will catch all the dust. |

Guns and roses! But it''s not heavyweight cotton. |

Precision Cutter
This a precision tool! I was able to cut a PERFECT hole in my Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P60 for a Frozen CPU window. It cut exactly along the outline leaving no rough or sharp edges. It took some time, but the resulting perfect cut was well worth it. Definitely a better option than a jigsaw or rotary tool! |

WOW!
This Frozen CPU window kit is awesome. It is very well designed, and looks better than any stock Lian Li window on my Armorsuit PC-P60. I used the Frozen CPU Nibbler to cut a perfect hole in my case. I used the rounded end of a bottle opener to pry the gap open to work the locking strip in. The whole window install takes a good amount of time, but the end result is well worth it! Frozen CPU Rocks! |

Nice Sounding Fan
I read about these on the NPO silentpcreview. Basically, it is a good fan if you''re looking for quietness. I have it at its full 1300 RPM, and you can only hear it if you get within 12" or so.
Importantly, the vortex control notches do give the fan a much more pleasant sound to the ear! Not the constant higher pitched whine of most fans that can wear you down.
It moves noticeably more air than my armorsuit''s stock fan (rear exhaust), but still not a whole lot.
Undeniably, it is the ugliest fan on the planet... At least none of your friends will mistake it for anything other than a "Nausea-octua".
Hey, I guess it might work you if you have a wooden PC case!
All in all, I would buy it again. I just wish they would get with it and make some blue LED fans; CLEAR please!
(3DB DROP IN IN TOTAL SYSTEM SPL- 58DB NOW vs 61DB STOCK; ambient SPL at 55DB; measured at 1M with a Scosche digital SPL meter). |

Good filter/gril.
It is much more flush than the photo indicates. It mounts between your fan and case panel. Holes are a little too big for the best filtering, so I glued some fine mesh black patio screen to the back of it. |

Could be Gooier
These are not as soft as I had expected for silicon, but they seem to work. |
