Need quiet front fan for CD bay
I have a spare CD drive bay I'd like to put a fan in,
don't need anything very powerful, don't want to draw too many amps, but need it as quiet as possible. Will be blowing in the general direction of one end of the RAM and near the underside of the HD. I've looked in several online catalogues, but can't find anything for a CD bay, only HD bays. Thanks for any tips! |

Yes, I think so now that I've looked some more.
I was thinking of something that would fit in a panel that blanks off a CD bay, but that would put the noise up front by the user. I found a 40mm case fan that's under 21db - I'll just cut a hole in the side of the case and use it for exhaust. It should pull air over the RAM and past the HD and CD so should work out OK, and be quieter being off on the side. My wife's going to use this for work-at-home so it'll be on for long periods of time. Never had any heating problems, just want some safety margin. Thanks for the input! |
