This is what i need if it excists anywhere

THe color has to be black, i guess i could paint it black, but it would be great if it were already black

A 5.25" front drive bay cover with a fan or two installed into it with filters that Intake air

I need this! I need Intake fans from my my front 5.25" drive bay! The bottom intake fans aren't enough

not sure about the black drive covers, but can't you replace your existing front fans with something more powerfull ?

that is what i did on my coolermaster201 that had 2 80mm x 27 cfm fans with 2 92mm x 63 cfm's.


i tried 2,3 fan hard drive coolers in there before that and it did jack crap for airflow of the case.

yes, i can replace the two bottom fans

but the point is those are the BOTTOM fans

I need some fans on top, the CPU is directly in the line of sight of one of the drive bays, I want to put some intake fans in there so it pushes colder air towards the HSF

hey i tried 2 of these same coolers
and they really do not put out much air, no way they put out like 50 cfm.

they may work for cooling a hard drive.

but it may be enough for what you want.http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=128&manufactory=1281&DEPA=1

second one down

3 fans, black metal grill with filter, and it has a red led hdd indicator light... ;) It's all you babe! ;)

Do a search for Baycooler II to find the best price...

I put these onto the heat sink of a Lian Li hdd cooler for Philip's and my box...

Try removing the bay cover to see whether it sucks or blows air.

I use only exhaust fans so if I want to redirect some air, I just make another front opening.
