I've been running my machine with a both a hard drive mounted here as the machine came from the factory and with a fan also mounted in the cage provided. The fan plugs right into the motherboard provided power pins which are labeled.The front of the case seems to have plenty of air holes to pull air around the hard drive. The fan should blow to the back of the case rather then on the hard drive as someone suggested as this would disrupt the airflow inside the case. My machine was running a bit warm on hot summer days and I didn't want any trouble . The extra fan keeps my over clocked cpu running just fine on the hottest days. It was 102 F last week!
