im looking to get some more cooling with my PC.
currently its got 2 thermaltake 80mm fans front and back and the enermax dual fan psu.
as it runs, there is a significant negative pressure inside the case, i.e. fans are trying to push out more air than whats comming in, as i basically have 2 fans at the back and only one fan at the front, which is also impeded by poor case design.

thus im looking at the 5.25" drive bays.

ive seen the ones that use titchy 40mm fans. and they are crap, barely moving 30cfm.
i have seen one however, uses 2 horizontal 92mm fans instead of 2 or 3 vertical 40mm fans....

its the TT-900 by justcooler.
<A HREF="http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/cooler/justcooler/ju..." target="_new">http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/cooler/justcooler/ju...;/A>

however, its designed to BLOW OUT the case, whereas i want it to suck in.

are there any other coolers with horizontal fans like it that suck in?
p.s. ive got 2 spare 5.25" bays so fitting is no problem.

thanx in advance

ok I don't know anything about this, sorry, but shouldn't it be possible to simply reverse them?

maybe...
but the unit has the look of being all sealed.
and the fans seem to be mounted from the bottom only, so turning them around would be impossible

I tried doing that with the IStorm II. While it was good for cooling an HD, it didn't move enough air to affect the overall case circulation much.

So even if it looks like a good idea, this post is to let you know it isn't. Neither have the other HDD supply fans I have found. I finally just decided it would be better to pop for an SX800 series from antec.... Now this is the way to cool a system.... :)
