Cooling a raptor 5.25" bay

[Tetsu]

hello,

I need to add a raptor to my 5.25" bay and i'm need a mountable 5.25 cooling solution.

any suggestions 30£ish budget.

depending on your case, you could just ghetto rig a fan with zip ties, worth doing, pack of 100 zip ties is a few quid only from Maplins.

Modders mesh to make a front cover for the bay, round elastic to suspend the HD and a quiet 80mm fan, or even 60mm if you don't have enough space (I'm a cheapskate)

I've got an akasa mirage

think im going to go for...



^^ that goes in the 3x 5.25" bay then this to suspend it.



20£ all in and a bit more air flow in the case as well.

for only £11.75 you could get this

holds 4 drives, no guarantee it'll fit your case, but apparently it has good compatibility.

I use some nice 3 drive into 2 bay things with a fan on the front. (a nice 80mm one, not a tiny whiny one)

3 into 2 HDD bay + fan

mikerr thats just the thing!! does it come with a filter? how easy is it to clean?

[mikerr]

The actual ones I use do have a filter (and a hinged door to get at the filter), and are here
£12 each, but can't get the link working...

The Lian Li EX-33B HDD Bay (also available in silver) is just £20.00, and includes a 120mm fan

thanks for all the help guys, i went for the kama bay in the end and i'm going to internally mount it with a better fan.
