Antec P series front fan installation

[PhantomPC]

So I just got my P190 in for a cool 'n' ultra quiet build however, the 'cool' part might be a little hard considering it doesn't seem as if there is any way to mount a front fan in the bottom chamber. This could have been used to cool the lower HDD cage efficiently but it looks like there is no way to mount one.

Has anyone had any experience with this problem?

You need extra cooling in the bottom chamber?
Your HDD's are really that hot? There's already 1 fan down there...

look around the forums... its been done... keep in mind its the same as the p180/p182... but its been done so u shouldnt have a hard time finding someone with some pictures or something...

Yeah I've been looking for a while. Can't find anything. Also, I intend for my system to endure tremendously long up-times, so every little bit helps. I don't understand why Antec didn't just make it easy to screw in a fan.

Get a thin 12cm fan, and use zip ties to hold it on :D

Why do you need 2 fans down there? HDDs don't need a whole lot of airflow to remain in safe temps.

+1 to this. This fan should fit in front of the P180/P182/P190 lower drive bay:

I plan on having two WD Raptors down there in RAID 0 and two more drives for storage. Extra cooling would do them some good.

I've got a P180b, the newer revision with all the 182 features. I've got one 250gig SATA2 Seagate down in the lower HD cage, and I moved the fan from the lower chamber to infront of the top HD cage, my HD temps are around 36-38c normally. It was on avg 2c higher on the end location vs one of the middle locations I have it at now.

I haven't taped off the holes around my PSU yet, but I plan on doing it so it draws in the cool air from the front of the case. I've been tempted as well to put it in the upper HD cage in the airpath of my fan.
