Sharky Extreme :





Since Lian-Li designed the case to improve cooling, it was no surprise that the case came with some impressive options for the heat-minded. The PC-60 comes standard with three 80mm fans. All these fans use 3-pin power connectors, but you will only need one 3-pin connector on your motherboard, thanks to the included Fan Bus.

The first of these three 80mm fans resides behind the CPU. Equipped with an internal fan grill to prevent severed fingers, this fan plugs directly into a free fan header on the motherboard and can be monitored through the board's BIOS or a 3rd party monitoring application like MotherBoard Monitor. Our testing showed that this fan ran at 2150 RPM and moved a decent amount of air for its speed and size. The pre-cut hole in the back of the case is slotted, creating a safe haven for fingers, but at the cost of a slight raise in noise. Go ahead and cut it out if modding is your thing, but I suggest you replace it with a fan grill for safety's sake

The remaining two 80mm fans reside at the bottom front of the case, just in front of the internal 3.5" rack. Both ports for the fans on the front of the case are completely drilled out, which reduces noise and increases airflow. Lian-Li has also included a fan filter on the front of the case, which is quite handy for keeping out all that air-borne dust.
