Let’s put this baby into the case and get on with it now.

We need to look at the PC Case into which the GeminII is being installed. The case is a XION II and already has some heavy duty cooling. At the front of the case is one lighted 120mm case fan. Another 120mm case fan (non-lighted) is installed at the rear of the case. And, an 80mm lighted fan is installed in the side cover case. Along with these fans are the fans on the PowerColor X1950 Pro, and the fans in the PSU. With all these fans already in place, cooling should be very adequate.

Notice now how large the main frame is compared to the PSU and 120 mm fan at the rear of the case.
