So I finally got around to doing the front panel USBs on my Mac Pro mod and while testing to make sure I had the wiring correct (I didn't) I noticed that my temperatures without the front Mac Pro case fan array (2x120mm fans) were about the same, maybe even a degree or two cooler. So here is the question. Should I put them back in there? On the leave them out side: the computer is much quieter - I can only hear the occasional click of the HDD and the stupid GPU fan. On the put em back in side: That large chunk of grey plastic covers up what can only be described as either a rat's nest or box of snakes. I realize putting them back in doesn't fix my sad excuse for cable management - it is really just like putting lipstick on a pig - but on those occasions when I do take the side panel off I am more likely to get an oooooo!! rather an wwwwwwww! Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
