Are there any intake fan solutions for mounting a decent intake fan on two front consecutive 5-1/4" bays? Basically I have the Enlight 7237 case and have an intake fan on the bottom and two available drive bays right across from the CPU and the Sunon 80mm exhaust in the back...I think with a decent fan blowing through there I'd get some great in-out airflow...I've considered hard drive coolers (without the hard drive in them) but I don't think they move enough air...any other solutions? I'm willing to chop up the 5-1/4" inserts to mount a fan to them...

Anyone done anything like this?

Thanks.

The only one that I have seen is at PC Power & Cooling. It costs $50 though, so it's way overpriced. Get an 80mm fan that you like and set it on the front sides of two 5.25" covers. Mark and drill the four screw holes, and then cut out the circular area for the fan. Mount the fan on the inside, and then just put a grill and filter on the outside.
