Mirage/eclipse HDD cage mod..lol

Ok so the other week when my head was near my hard drive cage on my mirage I noticed a constant stream of air blowing in my face (I was at the side of the case). Anyway on the opposite side of the hard drive cage is a piece of metal attached to the cage itself which stops any airflow escaping but not on the side to which you can see your motherboard etc..

Long story short, a bit of neoprene rubber + black duct tape = this:

and its now dropped my hdd temp by 1-2C It also hides the horrid colour of the noctua intake fan I have.

Almost as cool as suspending HD's with sewing elastic

Haha. I think it would look better with some of that akasa paxmate or something stuck there instead Even better would be to somehow get a piece of black aluminum to stay there!

I could get my dad to weld a bit of metal on to it from the inside so you couldn't see the weld. I did "prop" a 5.25" thingy (not bezel) against it which you have to take out to put a CD/DVD drive in and it looked quite cool with all the holes in it but might aswell not be there lol.
