Has anyone found a way to better cool the HDD bay in the Cosmos 1000? It is even really a problem or does the negative pressure inside the case actually keep enough air moving to cool this area? I currently have 4 HDD in the bays (spaced apart), and have the floor fan in its factory location. I had moved it to the top of the HDD bay, but had to put it back because I needed to put a drive in the 3.5 inch bay that had a short cord (the drive and the fan could not exist in the same space....obviously)

Thanks!

The HDs aren't very necessary to cool. If you use speed fan you can check their temp. So long as they are not above 60C they aren't really at risk for failure.

Realy!? I will install it and take a look..... Thanks!

By the way, I sent Cooler Master an email and they responded almost immediately!
