If you can, put the raptors on the top and bottom of the icage. Then... take the other one, and give it the acrylic top mod, and place it near the window with a fan blowing on it.


That is... if you have the minerals to do it (I don't... at least yet lol)


But if you're seriously interested, I have found quite a few useful guides that don't seem too hard at all. Some of them are better applied than others too...

You can mount HD's anyway you want.

The Armor junior has a specific slot for the 150g X raptors so that you can see it . Whether it's a good idea or not, Im not sure. Have to ask around for that one. If your running the Raptors though take the middle 150, leave the two 74's in the cage, and I think that you can mount a 3.5 in the top bay with all the power button (not 100% sure) can't hurt to double check though, I have my raptors just in the front Icage, and have had no heat issues with that at all.

Let me post my favorite HDD guide that also seems to be the least risky... I will find it....

Here's a good write up. The selected hard-drive could be better, but this captures the concept of the one I liked (i can't find it right now). Instead of replacing the whole top, just make a window in the top over the head and platters, etc.

What I would do, if at all possible, is get some passive heatsinks and place them on top of the HDD where you don't have acrylic to cope with the loss of heat conductivity from the removal of metal and replacement of plexi-glass. Also, if it is possible, you could seal an LED or two in there to light up the drive internally.

I still don't know if I have the bawls to do it either. But it's fun to think about

Excellent log I nearly died of laughing when you went on how good frys was... awesome store been going there for a really long time now. There are three within driving distance of my house. However, the people who work there are IDIOTS and their return/checkout system is very odd.
