heatercore, and case dilema

pokpok · 02-14-2003, 09:27 PM

ive chosen the heatercore from dtek (cheap and prety nice performance)

i have one of those chenming cases midtower servercases...i measuerd the dimensions of it...(6x7x2) cut it out on a pice of cardbord just to simulate where it would be. i found no place except outside...on top of my case. i really dont want it to be outside of my case, kinda look ghetto IMO

theres a drive tray thing up front, do you think i should cut that out to put the hc there?

oh and no i wont buy the bix

anyone have pics of how they mounted thier heatercore?

The drive cage is in the Antec box collecting dust. Have no use for it.

mpfmax:

the case that you earlier posted, is that you current system that you use with the heatercore? if you dont mind, could you take another pic of your case (all hardware inside) with the heatercore, inside it?

so where do you put your drives

Over the years I became aware of my needs in terms of drive bay usage.

I've come down to only needing 4 bays.
2 CD drives, a Floppy, and a Hard drive.

The Floppy and Hard drive share a bay...which actually doesn't quite fit well...the HD makes the 3.5 bay stretch and not fit correctly...I think.
