It has 3 possible fans in the front, 1 extra fan in the back, a temp controlled fan above the ATX cpu position and 2 fans mounted on the side of the 6 5.25" HH slots. Very nice case, has only one problem, they made the IO face plate opening not standard. They included faces plates for the more common boards, but for the Intel DK440LX not. And the face plate Intel gives, doesn't fit. I talked with them, they are supposely fixing it and are sending me a fitting face plate. > > Kevin > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message -- Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
