Help with Thermaltake armor

[Agaruvala]

hey guys remeber me, I finally got my new rig up and running, X2 OWNS. BTW I got te thermal take armor and though I could add more 120mm fans to the front as long as i did not have the filled with stuff.

The 120 that comes with the case that goes in the front is mounted to the HDD cage, and the rear cage has no such mount ( so that a fan could go on it).

Anyone know how i can add or how i mount another front 120mm

Cause right now it looks like yo can't from what I can tell.


PS: So for no pics of the front layout.

You cannot mount additional fans unless you do a mod. The Armor merely allows you to mount the fan in three positions . . .

You can buy another HD rack and use the fan mount that comes with or you could use the HD cage that CoolerMaster sells for the stacker. Or you could glue three drive bay filler plates together and cut a fan mount into them. Whatever fries your eggs...

And does anyone have a link as to where i would buy JUST THE HDD CAGE for the armor or the stacker and will the stacker HDDCAGE work in the armor ?

The cage from ThermalTake is called the iCage and the one from CM is called the 4-in-3. Should be able to find them easily with Froogle (yup, no problemo to find both of them). I know that jab-tech.com and svc.com carry the CM unit. The CM unit is pretty generic and solid as a rock (made of heavy gauge steel and weighs over 4 pounds w/o drives) - I've got one in my Silverstone Berserker. The CM unit is nowhere near as pretty as the TT unit but it does isolate the drives from the frame - I don't think the TT unit does. As far as looks go, the Lian Li unit puts them both on the street, but it only holds two drives and has no 120mm fan mount. The fan on the CM is Very low power but quiet. I immediately replaced it with a fan capable of 50-120CFM... Now I can puff my case out like a balloon if I want to .
. AFAIC, the iCage shows very little thought. It's just a stack of three HD adapters with a fan tacked on the front - while the CM can hold up to four drives including one external like a floppy or a ports panel etc. if needed. But then you will want to gear down to a 90mm fan for which there are mounting holes also.
