Be nice if you could position that H70 differently. The sticker sitting there just ruins it.

Thought I would share this mod I just finished. I was tired of having to always disconnect the fans on the side panel when I take it off, and I saw the side panel contacts that Thermaltake has on their GT 10 case.
You can see the fan controller wire hanging their in the top corner: snip I took the leads of a fan Y splitter and soldered them to a small piece of plastic and made some contact points. I used some hot glue to attach it to the side panel: snip Did the same thing with one the leads of the fan controller and mounted it to one of the tabs that stick out on the inside of the case: snip snip |

I dont have any problem with vibrations out of my HDD. And I like my rig to be quiet. Most my fans are 1300RPM Akasa Apaches on PWM. My HDD is a WD Black 1TB.
I think I dont have any vibration problems because of the tight fit of the drive into the case. Literally, it fits tighter than a normal 5.25 devices (like an optical drive). When I slide in my optical drive, it has a 1/16 to 1/8 inch play(up and down). My HDD and SSD is a tight fit with no play, but not so tight that it would do damage. Or you could just get a Nexus Doubletwin. Which is what I used before my mod. It has built in rubber dampers. |
