My brothers looking into getting another hard drive for his computer, currently has a midi tower. I have a spare ATX full tower so going to put the components into that. It's got enough space for a Coolermaster 3-in-1 module and optical drive so the CM module will cool the hard drives quieter than single slot 5.25" coolers, but the faceplates are the standard covers, basically shutting out airflow to the module. How can I fit filters onto the front of a standard case? I don't know the make/model of the case.

So any case gurus work out model from this picture? I think it has 5 maybe 6 5.25" bays. A V shape groove going from LED's to the bottom of the case. Plastic front, steel sides and top, all three removeable. 8cm exhaust, 8cm plastic fan holder, removeable ATX PSU at the top.

oh also has 3.5" floppy bay, and a removeable motherboard tray

You have basically described what every mid sized case looks like.

But... let me have a look, and yes the module, or a Lian Li one should work in this case, although I would personally just bungee mount a single drive.
 
I might have a picture somewhere, I'll try and find it. Oh it's going to have three hard drives, so the CM module would be ideal (HD bay at the mid area has no cooling so bit concerened about that)

which LL HD cooler are you talking about? Check oc site nothing in case or accesories. :confused:

Nah those aren't ideal, something like the CM 4-in-1 module but with cover/filters on the front. Found pics!

It has plenty of HD space but rather sacrifice 5.25" slots for safer HD temps. Similar design for SS TJ-08

edit those Lian Li MF-20/30 look ideal for my silverstone, would allow me to lower the drives right in front of the intake fan. You don't happen to have any do you? :)
