Got the HDD stealth bay mount almost finished tonight. The case has two mount for floppy drives (but who uses those anyway
) so I butchered up the top one to hold my HDD b/w the opticals and the fan controller.
The initial look. Had to trim down the sides, but leaving enough on the front so it was still structural. Went from this to -
This
But how does the HDD fit you might say? Well, I'll show you
It fits just perfect. Snug as a bug in a rug so to say,lol.
Shot from the front. Im wondering how the temps will be.
Although my HDD in the current rig is stealthed like this with little airflow and it stays average. I'll have to see, Im not very concerned at this point however.
Just have to get the jigsaw out and cut this out. It actually lined up almost perfect with those pre-existing holes. The molex and ide cable have plenty or room too YES
Almost didnt have to cut it,lmao.
Wheres the HDD?
Oh there it is! Lol.
I'm real satisfied with how this came out. That HDD is perfect up there. I was wondering where I would put it, thats just sweet. Nice and out of the way, that will make the cable management alot nicer.
PS, thats an OLD HDD i has laying around, its not mine,lol. Just a mockup!
