right now im only using the top 2 bays for a dvd drive and a fan controler.

i think i want to move my hdd's into 1 or 2 of the bays if i can find a good kit to move them to a 5.25 bay.

other than that is there anything else i could do with the space? Also if i move the drives up top then i will have a bunch of empty space where the HDD cage is.

Any ideas would help. I need a new project!!

I only have one optical drive, DVD player/burner. I'm currently using two HDD, but I took them out of the rack and placed them up top in the 5.25" bays. I cut out the HDD bay so the bottom of the case gets more airflow, to the GPU, specifically.

If you decided to do that, try these:

Something like this perhaps?

Converts 3x 5.25" bays to hold 4x 3.5" drives and has 120mm fan for intake too. I think Antec makes something similar to this too, but I'll have to dig around for it.

my bottom bay is open with a adaptor for a floppy drive so couls i mount one of the hdd's in there then get a kit to convert the bay above to hold the other drive?

should i worry about temps to the drive if i move them cause now i have a front mounter 140mm fan blowing right on them?

right now my main drive than runs my os is a 500gb seagate that runs at 29c on average.

Yeah, definitely.

I don't. I'm touching the front of the HDD right now and it's cool to the touch. I should mention I have my optical drive, my main HDD, a 120 mm fan (takes up about three slots) and then my storage HDD.

Then I wouldn't worry if I were you.

i do like that but it would be kinda overkill since i only have 2 hdd's.. i do like the idea of there be a fan included (could always use another fan)

thanks Deviance i'm gonna move one of the drives to the bottom bay in the 3.5 slot then get a anti vibration kit for the other drive

after that i should still have room behind the drives for a fan if i want one and 1 more empty bay

unless i go with that fancy silverstone cooler combo thing...
