So, I had this idea a while ago but never was sure exactly how to execute it. I picked up one of those desktop file holders from wal mart, the metal mesh ones, black. That was kinda cool but I still wanted a fan in there, so I cut it down to fit the holes and screw holes of the NZXT apollo case and bought a thermaltake 140mm fan, screwd er in, and this is what I got...

Not shabby.

If you told me you were performing the act I would expect it to look like shit.

But it looks good. I'm impressed! :D

Actually the woman had a good question.

She brought up the door on your case. If you have a door on the case and close it wouldn't it ruin he point of the fan considering it should be running all the time at the same rate to keep airflow current? IE: Consistant cooling.

good observation. I allways keep the door open enough to allow airflow.
