    Posted: 02 Aug 2012 at 12:21pm
Ok, so I have decided to add a case fan to my Old Silverstone TJ02 Window. This case has poor negative airflow and i plan on getting a little positive airflow with this upgrade.

I will be using a Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 Silent Fan (Intake)
I have already ordered the fan.

And a 200mm x 230mm Silver Fan Grill (Outside of the window)
I have not ordered the Grill yet.

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5318/ffg-22/200mm_x_230mm_Silver_Fan_Grill_-_Antec_Big_Boy_Cooler_Master.html?tl=g47c221s1053

My Question is what Hardware will i need to reach from the fan through the window and grill?
Am I taking the right approach?
Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed!

Hi rsmilford,

I am not a fan of the TJO2 case due to its limited cooling. I hope you added the rear 120mm fan already. It is a mistake that this rear fan is not included with the case.

The limitation you might have is the distance from the side plate to cards. This is a mid-sized case and is there room to mount the fan? Let us know how it turns out.

I think i have enough room about 2 1/2 inches.
does anyone know what thread size the Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mmx200mmx30mm fan takes?

The best solution for that chassis is to drill 120mm holes for fan mounts.

Success

I recommend using a Rotozip with a spiral cutting device for perfectly measured holes.

rsmilford, that looks terrific. I can't even see the hole you cut into the plastic for the fan to draw air.
