Portability is listed as one of the 'features' in the conclusion.........well who'd a thunkit? Yet the fan isnt mentioned, cept in the con's list and the 'deciding factors' of size and external appearance, arent discussed.......

First I have to say that Propane made a good job.
However, since it could be considered as a case, it could have been interesting to test HDD temperatures. Especially with the small fan and the PCB that blocks air flow...

Yeah... Didn't think to that... Maybe the HDD probes are still usable ?? or at least as you said, internal case temperature could have been measured with an external probe...Without an external probe would there be a way for the computer to read the temperature of a non-SATA or IDE hardrive?
