Hey all.
I am looking for a fan adapter to put in the drive bays of a Silverstone TJ07 to improve the air circulation in the upper compartment.
The only thing I have found so far is this from Silverstone - http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-CF...f=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Are there any other options to improve the airflow? Maybe some vented drive bay covers? A different fan adapter?
I don't need the adapter for HDDs. I just want to get some air intaking from the front without destroying the aesthetics of the TJ07 too badly.
Thanks for any help

Hey.. Love the new Avitar. Let me see if I can help.

First Antec sells parts for the Antec 900 and 1200 on their site but I don't know if they are adaptable for your box. Lian li Also makes a similar box for drives and Performance-PC.com and FrozenCPU.com carries those pieces

Scythe Kama Bay perhaps?

A great choice, but I would replace the stock fan (unless Scythe made an improvement) as it barely wheezes a steady breeze.

If it helps at all I'm using 3 mesh covers from an old antec 900 in front of the drives and all three stay around 30C. Now that I've seen the Silverstone one though it does look a lot nicer.

The Scythe Kama Bay is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, to the point, and it's CHEAP $$
The Lian LI parts look awesome, but wouldn't it be sacrilegious to mix Lian Li and Silverstone? LOL
Are there any alternatives to the Kama Bay? I have to ask....
I might get one for my SS Kublai also.
Nice job guys.

@Syrillian - The first thing to go would be the stock fans. I will be putting all S-Flex fans in the case, and whatever high-quality 92mm fans I can find for the 2 rear fans, finances permitting.

@Darren9 - Good to know the Antec mesh covers fit. It does help.

That SS HDD adapter is way too expensive, but it is nice.

BTW I am not 3DGameMan, but I do think that he is a 100% KickAss product
