Actually considering taking a dremel to my computer case. Not sure why,  would weight reduction make it go faster?

We got the Antec p280s here a while back for $40 each..   so  I've got bunch of those for all my pcs..


I like the large cases, because I hate trying to squeeze wires somewhere or cut my hands in a tight space..

Yeah i kinda want something compact, the large case appeal has started to wear off for me. Although id probebly get something like the bullet and then throw it through a window when something doesnt fit.

Ok so my exhaust fan is at the rear but my cooler is angled with fins facing towards the top. Do you think it would be better for cooling to put exhaust fan at top as opposed to rear. Pic for visual

well...... if you're gonna change orientation.. Up side down is best because the vapor chamber for the gpu works better in that orientation..  and those top vents are covered.
