Would it not be better for airflow etc to have the HDDs in the bottom cage?

Rock on with the P180

Dan

That HD 4870 is one long mammer jammer. Congrats on getting it put together and up and running.

Don't you have the bigger HD cage that lives in the bottom anymore?

Dan

[bigblockmatt]

i have the bottom cage. i didnt know it could be used for the harddrives. i just thought it was for random storage.

[DMB2000uk]

You just need those round white rubber grommets and the screws with the really big flat heads on them to mount the drives in.



They sit vertically in there.

Looking good Matt! Need to clean up the wiring though. Some zip ties work great.

ya, once i deal with the harddrive stuff, i will clean up the wires a bit. i dont have a window on the case so i dont have to worry about the looking in clean part

[Skippman]

Yes, but you do have to worry about airflow.
