Jon,
Sounds like a good idea. However, on my system there is only enough
room on the slid out hard drive rack to mount two hard drives no matter
what. I'm thinking of fabricating an extension of some sort though.
Also, I notice that the rack lacks holes for ventilation where it would
hurt nothing to have them.

Wish there was some way for me to post a picture of the setup.

I am looking into cutting a hole in the side panel right where the hard
drives are and then mounting another 80 mm fan in that hole.
