nope... this was just a complete ghetto... i actually took a piece of wire and tied just the top 2 holes on... so the bottom is slightly off the mount.... hehe i know its bad but i really wanted to see what it could do... yet i didnt want to waste alot of time when i am gonna tear it down soon....
my real design is like this: a fan PULLING air through the BIX... and it is completely sealed... but it is a big sealed shroud that turns 90degrees to the side... so that the air comes in through the front of the case (through the BIX) and then right out of the side of the case.....
you would get better airflow if you dont mount the fans right on the BIX.... test for yourself... use only one fan right on the mount... blowing through the BIX... then feel with your hand where the air is comming through... and feel all the DEAD SPOTS!!!
if you mount your fans 1-2 inches away from the BIX... you will get much better performance....
btw... what kind of performance are you getting?
