skakillers Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I recently finished a G5 case conversion, and it came out pretty well although I'm having some issues keeping everything cool enough. My case did not come with the fans that are normally located in front of the hard drive bay. What I'm looking for is a cooling solution that will fit in the space between the optical and hard drive bay. I was also wondering what the best way to mount a fan in the front of the case would be.

Thath0r Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 To your first question: Why don't you take two 40mm or 60mm fans? It's true, they could get a bit noisy, but I'm sure they'd work. To your second question I know no answer, but I'd be very interested, too.

Thath0r Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 My own mod, the 2x120mm fans is zip-tied to the harddisk cage Wow, this is an abstract idea. Didn't even think of something like this...^^ I assume it reduces the vibrations? The thing you found on the interwebs is also quiet a nice idea. Thanks!
