A look at the Inside Pt. 3

Now this is a first for me and one that I think I will let you decide if it is a good idea or just a gimmick. Mounted next to the two top mounted Tri-Cool 120mm fans you will find a flexible LED light that is attached to an 11.5" flex tube.  This will make working on the inside of the computer a bit easier being how dark it can get in there.  My only concern is I don't even touch anything on the inside of my computer unless it is unplugged.  The light has a cable that must be plugged into a USB connector on your motherboard and a Molex connector for your power supply.

Here we see the middle 3.5" drive cage with the two pull out drive caddies each of which has four silicon spacers that act as anti-vibration devices to keep the vibration of the hard drive from transferring to the metal of the cage.  You can also see the plastic guides on the top of the cage to insure proper alignment of the drive cage back into the case itself.

Then we have the small storage comportment that is located on the back-side of the drive cage as we mentioned earlier, this will come in handy for storing the extra specialty screws that are used with the silicon spacers when attaching a hard drive.

This is the bottom drive cage that holds four 3.5" drives which are mounted on edge, here you can see the silicon spacers again as well as the plastic alignment guides.

This is the place for the optional fan in front of the middle drive cage, now you really have two choices here.  You can install your two hard drives and place a 120mm fan in this bracket or you can leave the hard drives out and place a fan on the end of the drive cage.  In all actuality I suppose you could use a fan here and one on the end of the drive cage, but that might be considered overkill.
