This case should be big enuf for a family of two - probly a little small for a family of four. It has central air.

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.

Considering I take off the front panel, on average, of a computer case around 10 times a day I've just got really good at doing it. I know nearly every make and model of HP, Gateway, Dell, Sony, etc so I can move my hand in, pop, and pull off in no time now. So cases that use similar designs are easy enough. Just have to do the plastic clips before pulling case off.

This one really isn't hard. Unlike some, it is possible to take off one side panel, release the clips on one side, swing the the front panel like a door and pull out the clips on the other side w/o having to remove the other side panel. It's just that the plastic clips can break and just in general are a pretty lame solution for a high tech piece of equipment. I'm thinking screws would be a lot easier, even if they weren't toolless. Most people don't remove the front panel 10 times during the entire time they own a case and using a screwdriver on those rare occasions wouldn't kill 'em.
