Excellent -- gotta respect temps like that. Kudos. Are you able to run it slow enough to keep the noise bearable?

The fan is small and quiet.

Drive bracket prototype V2 is almost complete. This version mounts more securely and can mount two 2.5" drives or one thin(20mm) 3.5" drive. I need to move the 3.5" mounting holes up a little, drive sits too close to the power connector;

 

I will take it to my sheet metal guy to get a new quote.

Seems like a job for a 3D printer.

That is a good idea.

While a 3D printer would allow you to print a plastic holder, I do kinda like the idea of having a metal plate that can help, at least a little, dissipate the drive heat.

how many extra hard drives can I connect? (4 standard and 1 oob)

and most important how can I connect them?

[schoondoggy 754]

I am running 6 drives(two 2.5" on the bracket and four 3.5" in the swappable bays) and a DVD. I add a HP P212 RAID card to have enough ports.

I forgot to ask it these brackets would fit on an N40 or N54.
