does this case runs too hot?

and

how quiet is it?

I love this case. Mine doesn't run hot at all and it is very quiet. It also has metric assloads of room inside.

 

[Oh4Sh0]

what exactly is a metric assload?

 

[Croak]

For us Americans, it's (Assload) * 2.2 = Metric Assload.

Silly French and their metric system. Just to let you know, Assload is a measure of volume. But it's derived from the older, more widely used Asston, which is based on the weight of enough unpeeled, fresh turnips it takes to fill up St. George's Hall in Windsor castle, floor to ceiling.

When the French started the metric system, they still used the turnip base for Ass measuring, but moved the location...so it's how many turnips it takes to fill Notre Dame de Paris. As such, Metric Assload is based on the volume of the Notre Dame cathedral.

They never bothered to weigh all those turnips to come up with a metric equivalent to the Asston, since immediately after filling the cathedral, a turnip fight of epic proportions broke out. One of the bystanders, a Spanish cardinal, was reported to shout "I keel o you!" after being hit in the head with a high speed, 2.2 pound turnip.

That stuck, and the Kilogram was born.

While that was very informative my main concern with this case is the HD cooling. Almost all the reivews have mentioned the fact that the lower cage gets no cooling and drives run hot (in fact I believe CM is now giving away free extra HD fan brackets to people who call and complain.)

Even with the non-included/optional fan bracket - and I have not seen pictures with it in place - it looks like the fan would blow against the large flat top of the 1st drive, essentially blocking most of the airflow instead of along the side where it would do a lot more good. Am I wrong?

Any more info on this HD bracket? I have 5 HD's (2 raptors) in my cosmos so I'd like to find a better way to cool em.
