I have added the 120mm fans now...and cleaned up the cabling a little bit.

The Green LEDs on the new fans have improved the overall performance of the case immeasurably.

The also have reduced the idle temp of the CPU by 2C and the vid cards by 1C.

The new fans raise the sound level of the case back up to about that of the old case. Not too shabby considering that the 6x80mm fans in the old case was moving air over 38,400mm² of fan surface area whereas now there is 153,800mm² of fan surface area.

BTW does anybody make a case where the front panel removal is convenient? This standard 6 plastic clips that snap in thru holes in the case frame is soooo lame.
