Top-mounted or side-mounted fan? Anyone have any pictures to share?

I used a side-mounted 120mm fan with 2 Compac F's, but if you have more chips, top mount sounds like a better idea.
You could even use a fan header splitter to use 2 or more fans, of course.

So I jsut got an email notice from Bitcoinmerch.com about NewPacs being back in stock. I thought wow.. those were from 2018 and 2019.. Really? So I go to their website and check and sure enough BitcoinMerch.com just listed some new NewPacs for sale @$149.00 each. Says they have 12 of them. Think they just found an old stock box of 12 sitting in the warehouse?

Honestly, ever since the R909 launched there's no better value for home mining than that. $150 is a ton of money for 45Gh/s; for 4x the price, sidehacks' latest product gets you 55x the performance. So it's basically 10 times better. Wink

Any cons with the R909?
I had the R606 but it broke within 4 months at recommended max settings.
Zero customer service with Gekko.
They took the money and ran away.
The unreliable machine made me go with the Apollo BTC miner.
Got a full node and a standard.
Both are good and about similar cost per TH
Much less problems than the R606.
