The holes ended up turning out very nice. One of the first things people ask when they find out I have intake fans coming in from the floor is, "Doesn't that  fill your system with dust?". Yes, it would normally, but I installed fan filters. I went with plastic ones rather than metal ones. I also found it easier to clean the plastic ones. You might be wondering why I went with 92mm intakes. Well, this case originally came with 2 fans. A 92mm in the power supply and a 92mm mounted in the front pulling air through the grill. I tried them out on my desk and found both of them to be surprisingly quiet, so I decided to use them in the floor. But the main reason I used them was to save money.

Here I've installed the wheels on the case. These are the same wheels I used in 'Project Little Stealth', part 2'. Cheap, crappy, nasty casters. I've meant to replace them from day one, but for now, they're still in place. These wheels provide the height needed to get good air flow to the intake fans. As you can see, I had to mount them in an unusual way; the original feet on this case went in those big rings. Unfortunately, with these wheels, there was no easy way to mount them on those same rings. I just couldn't drill holes on the outer edges of those rings. So instead, I mounted them just outside the rings as well as I could. It turned out pretty well, I think. You can also see the plastic grills on which the filters sit, installed on the fans. Also seen are the 4 screws that hold the pump in place with rubber washers.

Under the pump itself, I used rubber grommets in order to keep it from vibrating the metal of the case.

This was my first idea. I would just run the hoses up along the back of the case, into and out of Big Momma. Really simplistic, but I didn't like the top mounted blowhole.  It just didn't jive well with how I wanted the system to look.

My second idea. This was after I had contacted DangerDen, and they had happily agreed to provide me with their cooling cube and Maze2 waterblock to use  in a review. Since I already had them, I found that they fit into my plans VERY nicely. So here we have my setup, closed loop.

I really didn't like the closed loop thing. It was a royal pain keeping the bubbles out. After reviewing several waterblocks and having to refill the system repeatedly, I had more than enough water wetter in my mouth to last a lifetime. I became dead set on not going closed loop anymore. In this design, I decided to use a Dubro reservoir, just like Joe used in DH3 and ProMini. I had 3 problems with this setup. The first was that the reservoir blocked my top two 5 1/4 bays from having anything full length in them. I was also concerned about water splashing out while filling the reservoir and rusting the case around the fill hole that I would be soon drilling at the top. And finally, I simply didn't like the look of the big knob on top of the case in DH3 (no hard feelings Joe, looks good on yours, just not my style).
