Hey everyone, Ive been lookin at some crazy cases and some are commercially available that I have questions on...
Like.. is it safe, sound, or wise to place a HDD (active) sideways? I always thought they needed to lay flat like normal....
also PSU UNDER the Motherboard? WTF? heat rises.. basic physics... your puttin heat onto your board only to have your fans work harder to take it off...
and Danger Dens "airbox" just breaks all the rules.. PSU, CD Rom and HDD under the MOBO, as well as HDD sideways... just seems like its destined for failures.
I want to make a custom case, I want it decently small (I have a shelf on my desk I'd like to put it) its not a "shelf" so much but decent sized, I just want it to look nice, but I also want it to have superb Airflow keeping every part cool.
So hince.. I bring this topic up.. and hopefully people will discuss it.
