any of you guys put your 3.5 hdd in the 5.25 bay? Im thinking of doing that so the air from the fans will have no resistance.

I was thinking about putting mine behind the motherboard tray with some velcro.

I am planning on doing this to make room for a 240mm rad in the front while still allowing to put another one in the bottom of the case. Because at that point at least if my spacing is correct I should be able to fit a 240mm rad, 1 hdd,a dvd-rw drive, and a single bay fan controller without resorting to any sillyness.

I got my new keyboard in today biggrin.gif This thing rocks! It's a Gigabyte Aivia Osmium with Cherry red switches. The volume and light knob are like a big mouse wheels that clicks for on/off and mute. My old G15 was having problems with the W key rolleyes.gif About the only thing this keyboard doesn't have is a windows button disable feature, but I don't have a problem with that. If you are looking at keyboards I give this a 9 out of 10 mainly because of the price.

did it today, quick question though. Does the hdd need more airflow than it will receive? No fan blowing on it. I didnt think it would need that much if any.

I've run multiple hard drives without direct cooling and never had any problem. Sure they become warm but nothing too serious (30 - 40 Celsius).

Did you use rubber grommets or something with that hard drive?
Last week I changed an aluminum hard drive mount in my work PC because the vibrations were being transferred to the case. Simple foam did the trick.

Btw: White looks so sexy thumb.gif
