Simple stuff (not for me, but for you guys)

Two questions guys: both relating to a Lian-Li PC-7HW Black With Window and Blue LED


1) Does anyone have any experience with either the Lian- Li or CoolerMaster drive covers. Lian-Li are screw ins and CoolerMaster uses double sided tape. Will either one fit, is the tape enough to secure it firmly?

2) That case comes with 2 front intake fans and a vent for 1 rear out. Should i look for one as the rear out that is similar CFM to the front ones, or one that is more because it is 1 less fan. I hear having a positive build up is good for inside the case. (less dust is part of it) Also if i instal a side 120mm fan and 120mm top blowhole, how much would putting one of those wire-mesh filters over the side intake block the flow? Is it worth it?

Guess that was more that 2 questions :( sorry

Thanks guys

Drive Covers:
I am not sure what you mean by drive covers, but I am assuming the plate that does in the drive bay when you dont have a drive in there? That is pretty tacky if they use double sided tape to hold those in. Even my 19.99 case with powersupply has snap in ones.

Airflow:
2 in and 1 out should be fine. Remember, your powersupply qualifies as an out. A dual fan powersupply really helps. If yours in not dual fan, I would just dremel a hole in it and duct tape a fan inside the PSU blowing up from the bottom. That will help exhaust hot air near the CPU. As for the blow holes, adding a 120 on the side and the top will definatly help.

Wiremesh filters:
You mean like screen door material? Im not sure what you mean. Everything will block flow, if you can see through it, it should not block flow too much.

I hope that answers some of your questions.

Cheers!
