#1: The top bay, which typically holds the CD-ROM. #2: The 5.25" bay right below that. #3: The 3.5" bay below that. #4: The 3.5" bay below that. #5: The floppy drive bay. #6: The half-cage bay below that, into which a drive can be mounted circuit-side up. #7: The vertical bay behind the speaker, running from the bottom of the case to the top of the PCI slot region. The drive is mounted circuit-board forward, interface & power pointing straight up, with two screws running through the metal frame behind the front bezel and a flat SCSI ribbon cable snaking through the gap in the top. > And what is the plastic cage thing for at the bottom front of the inside > behind the speaker?

It takes a bit of practice to open it up (basically, you pry it gently down and back, towards the logic board). > Can I use the floppy bay for a hard drive bay? I don't use the > floppy at all. Yes. The floppy drive is removed by pulling off the front bezel and then lifting up the two silver tabs below each front corner on the floppy drive. Pull the tabs forward and out comes the floppy. > Where can I place an extra fan in here for best cooling the hard > drives? Bays 3,4,5 and six are mighty close to each other.

Bay #7 is specifically designed to house another fan, though I can't recall precisely where -- and possibly only if there isn't already a drive in there. It's a great location -- cool air is drawn in low and in front, hot is expelled high and out the back. -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
