So I recently installed the H100i into my 300r, which was a hassle in itself, but now im asking for ideas on my remaining drive bays, before I spend my money on something useless.


It seems the top bay is blocked by the rad, and the second bay might work, and the third has my CD drive.
(Pc is taken apart due to HDD issues now resolved)
I dont need a fan controller because only my exhaust fan is 3 pin, the two intakes are molex, and my H100i has its own corsair link

If you don't need to put anything in the 5.25 drive bays, then don't. LED lighting?

Ive just seen some people around with some Drive bay drawers and such a few years back, seeing if anyone has any, well pointless but fun items.

For lighting I have dual Cathodes in my system top and bottom, 3 LED fans, and the waterblock. Cathodes are iffy but Im alright with them.

Well, you could put a drawer in there. Easy access to stuff like flash drives and what not. You could also install a multimedia card reader, or just a USB expansion. I would've recommended fan controller, but you said you don't want or need one and you know what you need.

No need to fill all, a USB 3 or 2, card reader is popular as are BluRay drives for movies and the like

Question. So can you install a H100i and its fans with a disc drive in the middle bay of a 300R?

I havent seen one in the drive bays. The only place in the 300r is the top, which with some motherboards having the fans mounted externally, slimline, or cut the shroud.
