I put both of my HDs in the lower housing and was worrried about not having a fan blowing at them. Has anyone been able to put a fan in the frontside?

thanks
 
I can't say whether or not I have tried to put a fan in the front of the case.
But I have the fan blowing on my HDDs where it started. I don't see why this isn't good enough.

 
I haven't had luck with a 120mm, but an 80 can fit. You might need to hack up the case a little to fit a 120 in there.. idk.
 
CopyCat: The fan between the PSU and the HDs should be blowing towards the back of the case (and it's included in the case). What I was asking is to add another fan between the front and the HDs (blowing towards the back).

I turned the fan around. My PSU has its own cooling and no read need for another fan on it...so I turned that fan to blow onto my HDDs

It is possible to fit a fan in front. But you will have to use a slightly smaller fan to do so.

I think this fan should be able to fit in:

FYI, I had this fan:
120mm Yate Loon D12SL-12 Case Fan - $3.50

And it only stuck out a few mm which blocked the hard drive cage from going in all the way. The first fan I linked to above is a bit smaller and should into the ffront with little problem.

Is this the one that would fit? damn, I was thinking of making a thread just like this 10 min ago lol...

The yate loon 120x120x20mm fit fine without modding the case. I just used a zip-tie to hold it against the front grill.
