The deal I was thinking of may have been online. *goes to check gmail*

No local Fry's? I could've sworn in the ad I got in my email they had one for free AR. Let me look for a link.

Oh I would never make them all intakes, I was just debating whether or not to make the top one an intake and have the back fan be the only exhaust. It's funny, I know that heat rises, but I never thought to apply it to computers. :) Thanks again for the help. Edit: Forgot to ask, 120x25 or 120x38? I have no idea.

Okay, thanks a lot for the help. I'll probably get 2 80s for the front and a 120 for the back. Should I change the top from being exhaust to intake or not?

Didn't check this thread for a while, anyways, I have a fan from an old G3 and it fits perfectly in the fan slot in the back. only problem is that my PSU doesn't have the right cable for it (since it's a Mac fan and Mac has to be so damn proprietary). Look at this pic to see the slot I'm talking about filling. What size fan is that?

If you've got a Fry's near you you might want to look at their ad. They almost always have a Seagate 160 GB for 50 AR. You pay 108 upfront and then get a nice check for $50 about 6 weeks later. Worked out great for me and you can't get that much space for any cheaper. 40 GB hard drives aren't worth it because it costs more than a buck a gig. They also have the Seagate deal online I believe, but I think it's about 5 bucks more.

Well, the fan in the acrylic window blows in and the fan on top is the exhaust, so it's already partially set up. I thought 120mm fans were the big ones? I don't know a whole lot about case fans as it's never really been an issue. All I know is that I have a large space in the back for a fan rather than the normal standard size.

All I've used since I can remember is 184-pin, though I found a stick of 168-pin cleaning the other day. Edit: Fry's usually has good deals on Corsair RAM, but only on 184-pin usually.

I would take his advice. Dual layer media just isn't that cheap right now. It's a lot more cost effective to just buy twice as many single layer DVDs.

You beat me to it before I finished my edit. Stupid diagram. I have a TurboCase X-Dreamer II, but the problem is that in the little slot in my desk for the case, there's not enough room for the airflow from the side to be sufficient enough to cool the system well.

Just got a new setup for my rig and while it saves a lot of space, it doesn't help the temps at all. In addition to looking for a new large case fan, I'm also looking for one of those fans that just stand on their own and have a few different speed settings. I'm not really sure where to look for something like this, but any other suggestions for keeping the computer cool are welcome as well. My plan is to just put said small fan behind the case to add to the airflow (currently there is none from the back, only from the side). Edit: I'm looking at this fan for the case, but I'm curious; will putting a fan behind that mess up that fan (see diagram below if confused)? Because they won't be running at the same speeds most likely and it may actually not help to do it this way. Diagram: FAN --> FAN --> CASE FAN --> FAN --> CASE FAN --> FAN -->

And when you factor in that I have some Buy.com cash around here :) Thanks for the help guys. My mom has some 25' from one of her schools' old labs. If it's not long enough (I highly doubt that it is) then I'll have to buy some.

I'm getting tired of not being able to move my desk/computer into my closet and this is the only thing stopping me. I'm gonna need at least 30 feet, but maybe more. Some of this stuff gets pretty expensive so could anyone help me out? I've froogled it but haven't been very successful.

I found 10 JVC tapes for 37 shipped, so that's not too bad, but my dad really wants to just B&M it. He's old, what can I say?

Title says it all. Wondering if anyone knows of any B&M MiniDV tape hot deals. Gonna be getting them very very soon so quick expire dates are of no problem. The chains I've got around me are Best Buy, Circuit City, Fry's, and CompUSA. Also have stuff like Target, K-Mart, and WalMart, but I doubt they'd have the best deals. Thanks in advance.

Crap, now that I think about it I don't think I did that. I don't know if it's worth the hassle to fill out of survey again
