Scythe Kama-Bay - Will it fit..

[toon_mad]

hi all, in the middle of a new build, tower is a new nzxt guardian 921, front has 3 5.25" bays, one is been occupied by a dvd/lightscribe, the other 2 are redundant.

kama bay: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SY-000-SY

anyway, although im sure the kama bay requires 3 bays, behind the front 2 is space to fit a 120mm fan in no problem. what i need to know is does the kama bay need to be pushed all the way in, or will it gladly sit in there even if it sticks out the back a bit?

just looking for some extra air intake over the ram etc + use the space up, dont need any other optical drives or fan controllers either, so makes sense.

Cheers

Needs 3 bays if you're using it as a front intake matey. Other way is mounting it laying down with hard drives in it taking up 2 internal bays. Remove CD Drive and Put it inside your case? I use my CD drive few times a year... normally just leave Arma 2 in it.

Buy a replacement fan with it, I stuck a spare 120mm noctua in mine and it works great.

i have plenty of spare fans, there is room in the case for it standing up as it should, the only difference being theres only 2 spare 5.25" slots not 3.

might just order one anyway and cram it in somehow

does the stock fan come off easy enough, just looks like the screws on the side need removing.

Yep, stock fan is removed by taking out 4 screws. 2 minute job
