System Specs

Finally a case that is built according to the reality that HDDs do not need a damn fan blowing on them like they were precious delicate babies. The fact is the whole layout of modern cases wiith HDDs meeting the initial airstream is backwards. If anything HDDs should be cooled last...or use the metal of the case as a heatsink with little or no active cooling. Heat hardly effects HDDs. It's heat cycles that effect HDDs. Wide temp swings are bad...but running along in a constantly hot environment does not hut them at all.

That said I think the idea for mounting the HDDs like that is good...I've done it and it works fine...but should be hidden on the blind side panel.
