Front Fans

I just bought two Antec TriCool fans for the front of my Solo, and switched them to the "medium" mode. They're also controlled by my motherboard, and only speed up when the case temp rises above a certain level. So far they seem pretty silent - I haven't tried them with the switch set to "low" - the...

Solo

I have a Solo, too. I wonder if you could mount one or two 120mm fans on the inside of the case, at the back of the hard drives, using good old duct tape?

Samsung rules

OK, I bought a 120GB Segate 'cuda V from Newegg last month. The thing had a horrific high-pitched whine, the worst I've *ever* encountered with a hard drive. What made it worse is that it came and went as the heads bopped about on the platters. Given the wonderfully silent performance of my 'cuda IV...
