Centurion 5 Owners - Got a Question

Do any of you use 3 hard drives in your Centurion 5?

I've noticed the only HD mounting brackets in the case are all back to back to back in the case, meaning no space between each HDD.

Will this cause problems? Is there a way to move the mounting brackets? Is there a way to mount one of my drives in the 5.25" bay?

Thanks
 
Ive done it fora little while, but they dont get much airflow from the lone 80mm, but it should be safe if you really need to do it

I currently have 2 in there now, and have had for months, and it works pretty decent with both having the majority of airflow going under the top drive and above the bottom (1 hdd space between them).

Dont think you can take out the mounting rails, and you can mount in a 5.25" bay, but would need an adapter.
 
I have a cavalier, same guts as the centurion.

I use 3 drives in it, without the front shitty 80mm fan. Temperatures aren't THAT bad. And if you're not using the floppy drives, you can use the upper 3.5's too. You should be able to fit them with space to spare.
 
I used two drives and it was fine. However, what I reccomend you do is use the bottom bay, the middle one, and the one below the floppy bay, which would leave a space between all the drives.
