Yeah!!! that's it...tell me what you think!=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted Imagetoo lazy to cut the filter into the exact size... Why not just cover the whole grill? Air goes through it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk336699 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 there is only a little bit of the holes are exposed... and cutting them takes too much time... also, maybe someday i would fill all the 5.25s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottike Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Just a thought here. Magnets and harddrives do not play well together! But, It looks good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Magnets and harddrives do not play well together! Actually they do. There are very powerful magnets inside your HDD already and nothing short of a high-powered degausser will harm your data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk336699 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Just a thought here. Magnets and harddrives do not play well together! But, It looks good! I dont think the magnet tape would affect the HDD at all since there is a fan much close to the HDD cage and nothing wrong so far... also the magnet in the fan is much strong too!

Scottike Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I agree with you that the magnetic strip tape probably won't hurt your harddrive, and while it requires a strong degauser to wipe a harddrive clean , a much weaker magnetic field could scramble data enough to cause problems. The point is, the data on your harddrive is written and changed by a magnetic field, and that a strong enough magnetic field introduced close to your harddrive will do the same thing. Would a few pieces of magnetic tape be strong enough? I doubt it. But, there's always somebody that thinks bigger, or stronger is always better. How about a nice little rare earth button magnet that sticks itself to your harddrive instead of to your filter/case when you go to install the filter? Oops! How much is to much? I dont' know, and I'd rather not find out the hard way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 How big of a magnet would be considerd dangerous, Waco? A professional degausser is about the only thing I'd be worried about. Strong neodymium magnets don't even compare. I've played with a 2"x1"x1" n45 neodymium magnet with a 2.5" laptop HDD and a 3.5" desktop HDD - I couldn't get it to do anything at all even when I was trying to get it to corrupt things.

Is there are story behind this? Some top secret information on the HDD causing you to wipe it? Or just playing around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
