Hey guys,
I purchased a dual HD case the other day. Awesome little unit, except for one thing. Its a bit loud when I have it on. The fans in my iMac are totally silent, but the fan in the CyClone sounds like a small airconditioner or windnoise in a flight. (Its not hurrendous, but enough to bother me).
Any suggestions? The fan is riveted on, and the rear panel is mounted over the rivets, so they are slightly difficult to get to, but there 'might' be a way. (I wanted to experiment with different fans on it, to see if perhaps its just the actual fan assembly, but the rivets kind of keep that from happening).
In seeing how hot HD's can get when they are in the desk top 'quick link socket', I can understand why they need fans running, or air moving over them, that is..
I wish to keep it on the desk. If I didnt, I could hide it in a desk to keep the sound down, lol... :d
