Node 804: Bottom mounted fans?

[rafalema]

Hey.

 

Most places quote the fan capacity of the 804 as 10 fans (4 top, 4 bottom, 2 at the back) and the bottom mounts are supposedly for 3.5"/2.5" drives. Why is there a dust filter here though, as far as I know most hard drives do not include a fan?

 

Here is an image of the bottom (from http://thepcenthusiast.com/fractal-design-node-804-review/)

 

 

I'm not sure if I can see mounts for 120mm fans but I'm sure drilling would fix that. Can anyone with an 804 please tell me are the bottom mounts compatible with 120mm fans?

 

Thanks!

The right side bottom can be used for fans or hard drives. In the even of a negative pressure setup, air will be pulled from the bottom regardless of what is actually there. If unfiltered it will intake a lot of dust.

 

Something I really like about this case is that every opening but the rear fan mounts are filtered. So whatever your cooling setup may be, it's fairly dust resistant.

As @MourningSouls said. If Case has lots of filters, mostly it's a good build that will last for a long time.

 

What I like in this case is back (Looks like it has eyes ) and that it's just a black brick that you can put under your sound system or on a qubick shelf and it will not draw any attention
