Ok, this is a little strange to me. Here's the situation. I bought all the parts for my new PC. P4 2.8, 200 GB HD, 1024 MB RAM, case, etc. My uncle really enjoys building computers and is currently unemployed, so I thought it would be nice if I paid him to assemble the PC for me.

Now, it has ben over 2 weels since I gave it to him. I was wondering what was taking him so long, considering I could have built it in an afternoon! It turns out that he had plans of his own! First off, he took the top part of the case to a machine shop and had them cut a 3" hole on the top, which is where he hooked up a fan! I have no idea why he did this! The thing already had 2 fans (not including the processor fan)!

This fan shoots down onto my RAM which ideally will keep it cooler. I am very concerned whether or not this will pose a problem. Could it cause unwanted noise? Could it make things run slower? What about the fact that it is on top.. will it pull in WAY too much dust? I am very distrought about this!
 
Having the fan there will not pose a problem. But I'd kick his ass for doing that without asking because it's not a necessity.
Man, I'd be furious. I hate extra noise.
 
Flip the fan around so that it expells the hot air upwards (and keeps out some of the dust). In your bios you can look at the system temp monitoring and see which arrangement keeps the system cooler.
 
You actually see this on more cases nowadays.

I think the theory is that the warm air inside the case rises so the top fan don't need to work so hard to expel the air.

I agree he still shouldn't have done it though
 
The reason he is not working is because they found a tumor in his brain which is most likely cancerous. I can't exactly be too pissed at him. I do wish he would have asked, but I just feel so bad for him I am pretty much biting my lip. He also took the liberty to put my band name, 13th Omen, on the front with stickers and put a stencil of a dragon on the front. I think he may be losing his mind! Literally!


You think this thing could actually lift off the ground? Maybe it is a Transformer... like Octomus Prime!
