Looks cold in there.

cool

If you hadn't thought about it already, I personally, would have put lighted fans in the front intake so that the light could shine through the fan filter. Although if it was me, my case wouldn't look as good

I thought about that...but the NMB are *so* quiet.

Nice case. I persoanally don't like the black wheels on the bottom but that's just me. Quiet cases are nice.

Wow...nice! You've got a cool silver theme going on there. I've a question about your airflow though. I assume your case draws air from the bottom front of the case? In that case(sorry about the pun) don't those 3-4 vertically mounted drives impede your intake? The middle of the case looks like its taken up by other drives too.

 

[scoobydooby]

Sort of, but it cools the hard drives which is nice. But it still takes air in a spits it out, so I'm sure that cooling is plenty unless you're a hardcore overclocker.

Well, the intake cooling was something I was worried about when I switched out the fans for the low flow NMB's yesterday. The stock ADDA's put out more than enough to cool the hard drive and the rest of the case. Its adequate right now...which is OK with me since I dont OC and the drives stay cool. I positioned the vertically mounted drives so that one of the intake fans blows between them for cooling the rest of the case.
