2 x 120mm in the front?

n604 · 13-December-05, 05:45 PM

i really like the way you can mount 2 front fans for the hard drives on the antec p150
http://www.silentpcreview.com/article272-page3.html

however, i would like to use 2 x 120mm fans in the front. so each of my hard drives is nice and cool...
i'm looking for a case that can do that.

so far i found 2 cases: Cooler Master Stacker and Thermaltake Armor
the reviews say u can put the hard drive rack with the 120mm fan on it in different places in the front of the case. but can u put more than 1 fan in the front? anyone here who has done something like this?

what other cases have this feature?

thanks

i have the P180 and its got space for 2 120mm .... (with a little mod you can easily add the second one since it comes with brackets for only one .... )

The new coolermaster case (I think it's called stacker 830) has room for 9 120mm fans, 3 of them in the front from what I can recall, enough HD cooling for your needs?

The lian-li has a optional module for the 5.25 bays that add room for HDs with an 80mm for cooling.

This should do the trick

You can have up to 3 120MM intakes

Just a question $SOLID$ . . . you would lose all your 5.25 bays by putting all three fans in, right? That picture is showing the three different locations available for placement of a single fan. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just seems that way when I'm looking at the picture.

I'm planning on using this case for my up-coming rig (Late January/Early February purchase) and I'm curious about any details.

Thanks

How about this?

Here's another one.

Then again you could always go with a V-2100 and place a delta in the bottom mount.
Note that I placed that one delta there because I like monstrosities, here's one that they carry.

I like the gigabyte aurora, it has 2x120mm exhaust and 1x120mm intake, and it's aluminum

.

I don't think that anyone, but the most extreme, "needs" 2x120mm intake.

Who needs the drive bays?

Once I install the OS, I remove mine and put it back in my server/gaming rig
