Any good ideas or any good products out there with fans in bays? i know a lot of people have done mods but is there anything i can buy? ive got 3-4 empty 5.25" bays and 1 empty 3.5" bay, i badly need front air intake.

I saw the mod with 40mm fans but i think thats going to be really loud. anyone have something using 120mm or 80mm

I have 2 empty 5.25 bays. I hotglued 2x80mm fans together, and then I hot glued them to the case. They don't quite fit in the two holes, but they put a TON of air over my RAM!

this kind of mod is not hard to do, I do admit I had a friend cut the holes on a CNC machine, but you can do it if your careful.

Coolermaster stacker cage (almost the same as the thermaltake)

both are about $25 and mount into 3 5.25" bays on any pc. remove your front shields, and use a nice mesh cover and voila!

Look at my public profile, I made an intake with a metal shot glass type thing I turned on a lathe, a tube connects it to an 80mm fan I fitted in a shroud thing on the inside of the case, the fan is mounted to the mobo back plate, just under the 2 CD/DVD drives with some extra hardware I got with my Big Typhoon. It is hard to explain exactly what it is, and I can't get a good picture of it, but it works well, blows air on the RAM and Northbridge, as well as basically everything else.
