Done.

Nice! I think that looks better anyway, like having the fans as a lid of sorts, or at least a neater looking top surface. Also gives easier access to dust filters on the fans, should people decide to install their own.

So, I imagine it would be better to blow the air down and not pull it up? I am not sure of the effect this is going to have on cooling (as opposed to blowing across the blades from the side with the back end opened.)

Barntech, is the cooling much different with the current heat sink direction or is it negligable? A bit of a concern as you mentioned cooling is going to be important with overclocking.

Congrats so far and good work in bringing it all together. You are in KNC's class (No BFL or Avalon!) LOL

ps - BTC is looking SUPER DUPER BULLISH guys. Really, I'm not gonna trade this. The buyers are in control and China is going ape shit. This is something to behold. Another "mine crash" today (hour or two ago) and I knew it was gonna just jump back up - the norm now. Even though the difficulty is up, these rigs might pay for themselves pretty quick if the price doesn't let up. I'm thinking a Mini Plane can generate 4 or so coins in a year, maybe 3. At 1600 or so for the mini plane, a BTC price of 400-500 should break us even. That is going to happen before April imo.

If I could pay in USD rite now I would. Its hard to come off BTC now when I wont break even in BTC. I do agree with what your saying here though this has been an awesome project that I have kept a close eye on for some time. I just wish I got in when they where still accepting paypal.
Also what I know about fans from the experience I have with HVAC, fans are more effective when pulling rather then pushing. But Im not sure that applies when its an open system since I am used to pulling through closed ducts. Although when setting up a passivise intake I always pull air through the room.
