Right now I have a 120mm in the drive bay on my other scout, I cut out some sheet metal for a 120mm mount.
I am going to order a Lian-Li radtiator mount and try that for the 120mm fan. My first scout I have the 140mm fan in, that one I can only use 1 drive bay.
What I want to do later is make a new front for the newer scout I bought, kind of like what Bill Owen did on his Scout Military case mod.

If you use a 120mm fan instead(no idea how to mount it) you'll be able to fit 2 optical drives.

The case I have the 140mm fan in I don't have it screwed in to anything, it just stays put, I guess one can also use a piece of Velcro at the bottom of the fan.

well I usually use this pc to copy cd's and stuff.. I can use my HTPC to do that instead if I need to.

I *think* you can squeeze two optical drives in there if you use a 120mm.

Personally, I would go with the 120mm either way because the Cooler Master R4 series push 90cfm @ 19db...I don't think a 140mm exists that can push that amount of air or more, at anywhere near that sound rating. I'm running 2 in the front, 2 on the side, 1 on top, 1 on rear, 2 on cpu cooler...8 fans running at 90cfm @ 19db = tons of air without tons of noise. Plus all that blue looks awesome!

I already ordered the 140mm, I'll try that for a while, if I don't like it I'll replace it with a R4.

I thought about one of these but after reading their forum and all the trouble people are having with the software I didn't buy it, I have something like this (Silvertone) but it got old fast and I took it out.
