Pete, In reflecting on this space and cooling issue, my solution of moving to a larger case may not have given the S900 case design an honest chance to work. I hadn't recognized bay #6 until recently and I have little experience installing extra fans to cool a hot-running system. Clearly, some or maybe many people are operating with 5 HHDs. But I recall a thread a while back that revealed some people operate with the side panel permanently off or with HDDs mounted externally, which is valid for some but probably not everyone. FWIW, I had considered attaching a metal sled to mount another drive vertically near bay #7, almost flat against the removeable side panel. It would be useful to know how 5 HDDs (plus perhaps CD-ROM, CDRW, FDD) have been "properly" mounted and cooled, using the case as it was designed. BTW, in my S900 ATX case I'm using rounded IDE cables to facilitate better air flow. Regards, --Bruce -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
