RAID, research to implementation

[Tinker]

Once again I have a concern about air flow in the case after adding so many items in a Mid size case. I found 24" round IDE cables in a local shop for $12 each and installed 3 of them. The installation only took about 45 minutes and the total cost was less than $40. The image shows that the round cables open the case for increased air flow. This of course is nothing new but looking at the fact that a Tower Case would cost me around $150+ for all the parts and another $50 for shipping. This makes adding the round cables and a couple of fans cost effective. Or at least it is for me...

The RED cables are the RAID and the BLUE cable is IDE1 from the mother board which is connected to a CD-RW.......

Please feel free to ask any questions.........
