Extra Ventilation PCI Brackets
One area of most computer cases that has very poor ventilation is the area nearest the slots. With one, sometimes two video cards in that area, the heat can really build up fast with very little space to vent out. The extra ventilation PCI brackets Nexus makes will be a quick and easy solution to this common problem. Taking the place of regular PCI brackets, these brackets are composed entirely of a black mesh instead of solid aluminum. Coming in a pack of three, you can easily add some better cooling for only a few dollars. My only two complaints? I wish the mesh would be bigger, my Silverstone case has vented slot covers with huge stamped vent holes in them instead of a tight mesh which would be slightly more restricting to airflow. Secondly, it probably wouldn't hurt to include more in a package, like five or so to cover almost all the spare slots.

Real Silent Case Fans
These fans are no mystery to us here. In our past Nexus Accessories review we were lucky enough to receive the 120mm fan model to test and review. Today, they were kind enough to send us one of each 80mm, 92mm and 120mm models. As I expected, the other sizes of this fan were no less impressive than the initial 120mm I previously reviewed (and still using in my silent computer system!). All fans ship with rubber vibration absorbing mounts, the same as the MTK-6000 (next page) ships with. Performance wise, these are amazing fans and they really do live up to the hype they have in many silent pc communities around the 'net. They are still among some of the quietest fans I have reviewed and compared to many competitors they are still able to achieve a good airflow rating as well!
