Hi, I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who had any experience with the recently reviewed Sunbeam Trio. I know there is a ventilation grill on the bottom of the front of the case. I wanted to know if it is possible to put any kind of fan on the inside there to pull air through the case and past the hard drive enclosures.
I have a tendency to keep adding more and more HDD's to my system over time (I have 4x160GB's in my current main unit) and I would like to be able to add a fan to help vent them, and to possibly help pull more air through the case. I can see what looks like holes for a fan on the interior around the vents in one of the picture, but I'm kind of concerned if I would have to try to take off part of the front cover to put screws through. I'm not especially mechanically inclined and I was just wondering how hard it would be.
I've spent about 8 hours researching and looking at cases, and this one is the closest one to the features I want that I like the looks of (ie cool but not gaudy). I would be truly grateful for some insight, as the ability to add the front fan would make this case pretty much exactly what I want. I will replace the dubious PSU, but that's pretty commonplace. Also anyone who has any other comments about the case is welcome to chime in.
Anyway, I know this was kind of long, but I appreciate anyone who read this far, and I would be greatful for any responses. Thanks.
