- or - "How to make money disappear"


Here's a better (though somewhat dark) image of the inside of the Antec case.

You can clearly see the layout of the inside, and all the places to hook fans up.

This ought to work
After pulling out the motherboard tray from my old in-Win case, I was ready to start putting in the new components, and then transfer the whole system to the new case.
Out and ready for work
Just to make the point once again, here's the two fans, side by side.

Oh yeah... the Swiftech is a little bigger.

size DOES matter!
Swapping out the Thunderbird 800 for the XP 2000+ was a breeze.
looking better already!
Next, I removed the screws holding down the motherboard from the tray and installed the mounting posts for the Swiftech.

The fan is far to heavy to mount directly to the socket, so a special installation is required.

It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but you can see the 4 steel posts at each corner of the socket.


not your normal mounting method
