I did indeed order Xoxide's version. Though I had my own ideas on how to use it, I expected instructions. There were none. I got two pairs of bands, each coupled by cable ties, one pair larger than the other; the metal frame, which has a rather stiff grounding wire to be attached to the drive; and n...

If the rubber bands are used as in the picture at the site of Xoxide, then it does not much. The only things those rubberbands do is pressing the HD to the bottom of the frame. It even looks as if the two top rubberbands do't do anything at all. It doesn't suspend the HD. The drive is, as depicted,...

I went searching around and came across a somewhat modified version at Xoxide; it has four posts per side instead of three. The image shows the bands being used rather differently. Think it could work as well? It's quite cheap.

I'd rather have a filtered fan in the front than have to figure out how to keep the dust out of the optical and floppy drives and everything else inside the case.. 1. Why do you need a fan on the front to have a filter? 2. If you're that worried about dust getting in, how about removing dust from t...

Direct link: YeongYang YY-5601. The look doesn't appeal to me much, but it might be a great case.

I've seen a few cases with room for 120mm up front and 80mm in the back. Personally, I like the option of running a slower quiet 120 in the back, and the front 120mm can run a bit faster to maintain positive pressure. Would you consider either adding those to the list or starting a second list? I u...

I'm curious: are there any cases with mounts for a 120mm fan in the front that are not listed here because the rear mounts are for something smaller? With the power supply fan(s) back there too, matched front and rear 120mm fans will not get you "equal pressure." A smaller fan would probably be bett...
