m2h Mister Troller Registered: 06/12/01 Posts: 10649 Loc: Toronto, Canada	picture log http://m2h.ca/drivecage/ backstory ITX case only had a 3.5 and 5.25 bay. Tried to mount a second 3.5 HDD in the optical bay, but the holes were wacky (non standard). So I made my own drive cage, and got 3 drives in there. There is 1/4 inch space between each drive, and a 80mm fan blowing directly across them from the farside. _________________________ Rollergettes Edit: my ignorance is my downfall.

Mr_Blog human Registered: 06/06/01 Posts: 13762 Loc: ${PWD}	Are you concerned that the proximity of the drives to the fan (electromagnet) might cause a loss of data? _________________________ ( o_ / >) My 84-year-old non-techy mom uses Debian Linux. It ain't that hard.
