Is it possible to get a front 3 1/2" bay fan, I have looked on the net and it dont seem there is such a thing.

I can imagine its almost impossible to get a fan in such a small space but adding one to my shuttle would prob help cooling a lot as it doesnt have an intake fan.

I ned to fill the space, it currently has a floppy drive in there and considering they are almost extinct would like to fill it with something else and I dont think a card reader would be much good.

Yes you can. I saw one the other day while hunting some parts down. Can't remember where i saw it now but it used a coaxial fan similar to the ones in the Vantec hard drive coolers. Being so small though i doubt if it would shift much air and may be quite noisy if set to high speed.

No, but i will have a look around again. There's only about 35 etailers in my favourites folder so it must have been with one of those. I will try to find it again and see if i can find a link to the manufacturers website. It may take a while though.

*Edit* Sorry i can't find them anywhere now. I have a horrible feeling that it might have been on a well known auction site though.
