[QUOTE="Casserole, post: 412516, member: 551996"] the purpose of the air hole isnt for venhilation. the air hole allows the moving parts to hover above others. if you were forcing air in/out that would probably alter/disrupt the aerodynamics, in turn messing up the moving parts, needless to say that would be bad. your idea would be fine, minus the fans. also, you would probably want to cover the entire HDD in a plastic bag or something that would make sure the HDD isnt being touched by the gelatinous liquid (from this point henceforth i shall [I]reefer[/I] to the gelatinous liquid as goo as it is too long to type) because you wouldnt want the goo seeping in through a small crack over time. there might be something in the goo that would be conductive and fry the circuts that are exposed on the exterior on some HDD's. if you end up making it you are definetly going to have to post pics [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] edit: i just re-read what i quoted and i think i may have been mis-interpreting it. regardless the HDD WOULD need some venhilation, but stay away from fans that are super powerful. also, make sure that it isnt blowing straight onto the air hole because of the aerodynamics.
