5.25" bay Blower AIO

[Yeareynolds]

Alright, so today I was "gifted" a CoolerMaster Elite 130 Mini-ITX case. I watched a few videos on guys using 120mm single rad AIO's to cool the CPU, then I got to looking at single rad AIO's to purchase and found the Corsair H5-SF. The problem I would run into is that the PSU would be in the way with the natural mounting of the H5-SF, but more than likely I wont be using the Optical Drive bay, I know I could just remove the bay and have that room or just run a single rad at the 120mm front fan. But im curious if anyone has seen or thought of building a blower rad like the H5-SF that could mount in the 5.25" Optical Drive slot to cool old computer cases that still offer that bay and have a mesh front for airflow. Might be stupid, might be cool. Let me know what you think, or if you could build one!!!!

Honestly a very cool idea.  Might even exist already.

a 120mm watercooler would be better, maybe you can find a better case or see if you can fit that somehow. I wouldnbt expect much more from this bay cooler than some noctua itx cooler
