Bezel help.

unit505 · 07-August-06, 10:30 AM

Sorry to post this twice - I put it on my work log and got no responses, so I thought I'd try the case mod threads.

Ok - I need your opinions once again. As stated before, I plan on smoothing out the front bezzel and adding the second intake and fan. My propblem is that I've moved the HDD's to the lower 5 1/4 bays so I still need airflow throught the top of the bezzel. I'm thinking modders mesh or something. I've doctored a photo with a similarity to what I want in the bezzel, but I'm still at a loss for the top section where I need air flow. Can you guys give me any input. For once, I'm planning before jumping.

The hard drives are located under the cd drive which is behind the bezel. The louvered portion of the bezel is where the drives get their air. I don't know if I should use some modder's mesh and finish off the bezel or direct air in from the sides to cool the HDD's. There is a 120mm fan sucking air in from the inside of the case across the HDD's right now. If I smooth the bezel, they will lose the air flow. Should I do some kind of cross ventilation or what?

Here's the drawing. As you can see, sealing off the front will shut off airflow across the drives.
