stadard case fans arent exactly quiet, but i really do what to know how hes powering it, cause a standard case fan can use around 5W, so 70 fans = 350W, even if he underpowered them so they go a few hundred rpm each say 2W = 140W total. .....

hmm actually that would work, assuming a 600W power supply - 300W for PC components, and if the fans are going 800rpm each. it would be very quiet if they are secured really well and have plenty of power, hmm now im interested.

if the fans were better arranged it could be quite effective. at the mo there is a conflicting air path, it would be better to blast it from the back, bottom and maybe even front, and force the air out the top and sides.
