Front Bay Fan Mod Help

[bruins004]

OK so I am looking around and I want to add a fan to the front bay of my computer (like in a few of the 5.25 bays)
So I was wondering how I would do this with a regular 120mm fan.

Do I just stick it in there or does anything need to be done?

I did something similiar on my old Xaser V. I had moved the HD cage to the upper bays to improve airflow through the lower part of the case. I just dremeled vent holes (half on the upper bay cover, and half on the lower bay cover. Then I just screwed the 80mm fan to the bay covers. It didnt bother me to give this a wirl, because I have extra bay covers laying around and it did wonders on keepeing my HD's kool.

Another Option that is less work is to find a Thermaltake I-Cage, which can be had for roughly $20. (However this takes up 3 bays but has a 120mm fan already)

Kewl.
Yea the whole reason I thought of this was I saw a Scythe product that was similar.
It was $20 as well.
I figure why spend that if its easy to do.

Also, just an FYI, my HD is on the bottom of my Nemesis Elite case with a 120mm fan right in front of it.
I am more concerned about the air flow in the front middle of the case since there are no fans there (just 1 on the side, 1 in back and 1 in bottom front).
I figured I could add 1 more intake there.
However, would that be smart since then I will have 3 intake and 1 outtake fan?
Or should I put another outtake fan as well? (Making it 5 fans total)

Its basically like converting your ATX PC To a hybrid BTX.
