Like many of you here, I have an everlasting need to increase case airflow and decrease temperatures.

My current goal is to increase air intake and minimize resistance as much as possible. To do this, I want to replace the 2 stock case fans that my Armor case came with (1 is an exhaust fan mounted directly above my CPU assembly, the other is an intake fan which attaches to the front of the hard drive cage) with some highly efficient Panaflo 120mm fans. I also want to add a third 120mm case fan, placing it in the three vacant front 5.25" drive slots directly above the hard drive cage. Lastly, I plan to cut out the area where my 120mm exchaust fan mounts agains and put a finger guard in its place.

Anyone here own an Armor case? Every try to install a 120mm fan in the vacant drive bays? I hear it is possible to do, but I am not certain whether additional hardware is required to make it work.

Thanks!

It can be done ...........yes :nod:

That looks like a picture taken from Thermaltake's website. I think that picture depicts the ability to move the single 120mm fan/hard drive cage assembly to any of those spots. I don't see how I could take a 120mm fan and just plop it in without any mounting hardware.

I plan on just replacing my front fan with one of these

That should provide enough air flow for the entire case! I was also thinking about cutting the window above the video cards and using the stock blue fan to push some more air into that part of the case! Also you may want to modify the front drive cage for better air flow by cutting out the drive supports for better air flow. Unless you have enough drives to fill the rear and front cages!!! Good luck!

Do you realize that Delta fan is 65dB? That would be extremely loud, too loud for me.

Be like an Aircraft.........LOL :shake:
