Thermaltake iCage [Posted on 2007-06-09]
I bought two to fill up my Thermaltake Armor tower. It is running 24/7. icage is very nice in keeping your harddrives cool to the touch. Fans are quite and unit is nicely constructed. Only complains are: there are no on and off switch for the blue light and it takes up 3 bays and it can support only 3 harddrives they could've fit one more harddrive (they might have their reasons such as cooling)

Fits generic cases. Quiet with good looks [Posted on 2007-10-06]
Fits into my generic (very discounted) case occupying 3 5.25" drive space. The connection is the 4 pin molex and needs mod if you want it to use MD controlled connection then you'd need to do some work. Fit and finish for its purpose is excellent.

Superb [Posted on 2007-10-17]
It was a perfect addition to my project. I use three HDDs in RAID 3. This allowed me use vacant 5.25" bays in my case. The cage is well designed and light. I was able to fix this in 10 minutes. Extra cooling benefits both the HDDs and other case components.

Item was delivered quickly and w/out any problems.

Unexpected Results... [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I didn't expect this fan to make such a significant difference inside of my Thermaltake Armor case. I had a Zalman 9700 cpu fan and it already kept the CPU temperature cooled. However, my motherboard temperature constantly was at 40-45C idle and creeping higher as load increases. It made me uncomfortable so I had to try a case fan hoping for some kind of help to keep the temperature from rising too fast. I've bought this hard drive fan instead since it fits perfectly into my case and I had enough free slots in front. I also reallocated 1 hard drive to this cage. The results was unexpected. Instantly I experience a drop of 10 degrees celsius and temperature don't rise as fast for my motherboard readings. Below are some results I've gotten:

Temperatures when idle; with their before and after numbers separated with a "/".
CPU: 24-31C / 20-24C
Motherboard: 40-45C / 30-35C

Temperatures with load; with their before and after numbers separated with a "/".
CPU: 30C-35C / 24-27C
Motherboard: 45-55C / 35C

System used on was a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 3.0GHz, Asus P5W DH Deluxe, BFG Nvidia 8800GTS 512MB OC...
