Does your fan not have its front shield or is it just a bad angle? If it doesn’t I’d suggest you put it on, from experience those fuckers can break skin.
It doesn’t, no. I accidentally put it on crooked when assembling it and bent it when trying to correct my error to the point that just taking it off was the only logical solution.
This one doesn’t break skin, though. In fact, my cats have accidentally gotten their tail into it several times and reacted with only slight annoyance.
To put it another way: a toddler could stick their head into it and not cry when it hits them, it’s THAT good at stopping gently when it encounters resistance 😁
It’s upward inside the drive bay, using a single 120mm fan and rad, then I perforated the case’s top sheet metal with a new grid of holes for outlet airflow. Definitely not amazing cooling performance but hey. I had to slice the CDROM drive in half to make room for it… the floppy drive actually works but not the giant CDROM lol
Yes I made the floppy drive work! There’s a USB adapter hidden in the back, and modular power supply makes it simple to hook up. I actually use them at my job (machine shop) though we normally just use an RS-232 cable connection to transfer files, so disks don’t get any actual use. I really wanted to ensure the 3.5 drive worked even though the CD-ROM doesn’t work, I had to put the AIO radiator up there instead.
I use that case for my work computer! It has a ryzen7 and RTX 2080. I had to hack the front USB to connect it with a modern mobo header, but it works…
Sleeper PCs are an art form
Where’s the radiator?
Right here, next to the fan:
Take the upvote and gtfo ;p

Clever!
I’ve always wanted to build a sleeper PC
I tried building a sleeper PC once but kept getting disturbed by trains.
How’s airflow?
Is the floppy drive hooked up? I have a floppy drive in my modern machine.
You need to get with the times, grandpa. Get yourself a Zip drive.
Do Zip drives work with Linux?
It looks like you could, but probably requires you to build a kernel that supports all the old crap they took out years ago.
If they ever remove floppy support, I’ll be sad.
