    TheAntec P182 Gun Metal cooling the HDD's good?

    The screen shots don't appear to have the case with its front panel open. So how do I know the HDD's will get cooled? Will the airflow in the case keep the HDD's under 30C?

    Antec does not provide you with any fans in the P182 for both HDD cages. One HDD is isolated from other heat sources and you have to add your own 120mm fan in the front for intake.

    They provide you with 2 empty spaces for 2x 120mm fans yourself. I would suggest getting any fan that would make little noise yet blows somewhat high CFM. Keeping your hard drive cool is a key to longer hard drive lives.

    BTW, I already have this case sitting in my bedroom waiting for my next build which is in my sig and supposed to be completed within a month or 2. Anymore questions, I would gladly answer them.
