Lian pc 7 HDD layout

Jimmy1983 · 10 Sep 2007 at 19:56

Just brought an extra 500GB HDD to add to my 250GB. Having a bit of trouble deciding where is best to put them. Iam guessing the bay in the middle, would be ok as it fits x2 drives but iam sure they would be too close together.

Whats wrong with having them close to each other?

Unless it's a part of the case that requires airflow to be good, then i wouldn't have thought there would be any problems.

I thought that it would be best to keep them apart as they get hot and to allow for airflow.

as long as there is room for the air to move around you shouldnt have a problem

Yer I dont think there is hardly a gap, they pretty much sit on top off set other.

I would like them both the the bottom area, but the FAudio cable is too short so its been run between this area.

whats wrong with putting htem in the hdd cage at the bottom of the case?

EDIT- Just seen you post about audio cable

2 36Gb Raptors and 1 300Gb, seams okay with the front fan over them!

Those who have a ds3 and lian pc 7 case, has anyone found a good way off arranging x2 HDD's bare in mind that the FAudio cable is very short with this case and the gfx card shortens the length even more.
