Where did you get the dragon logo mount for that 120 mm fan in the front and how did you mount the rear 120 mm fan? Did you leave the stock 80 mm fan in the front? What is your overall temperature inside the case?

The case came with the long blue dragon logo, the logo in the front 120mm fan (inside the case, between the HDD bays, was printed by myself. The 120mm front fan was mounted using a HEC Winpower PSU body.

The rear 120mm fan was mounted using a 80mm to 120mm fan adapter.

I removed the stock 80mm fan in the front, i moved to the HDD 5¼ LIAN LI bay.

The temperatures are:

Are the fans intake or exhaust because the rear and front are both 80 mm vents. The sensor for the cpu, did you put it between the fins and the cpu? Also, the case firewire and usb port, one of my usb port don't work and no clue how to connect the firewire, I think i connected the connectors for the usb wrong. I was wondering if you can tell me the right orders of connecting them onto the motherboard, like a picture of it with the it labeled or something.
What kind of problems did you encounter when you built the computer?

PS, good looking computer. Thanks for the reply.

Front (not in the original place, modded in the HDD bays) Intake
Rear Exhaust
Lateral Intake

The sensor was placed at top of the copper Heatsink (between the aluminium heatsink and the copper head)

I didn't connect the Firewire port. With the USB ports follow the instruction of your motherboard.

I didn't find any problem when i build my PC.

Very nice to say the least. Very impressed with the cable management. A little to brightly colored for me. You could use that for a lighthouse on the coast in an emergency. Just kidding very nicely done. 8/10
