No, for metal to be an effective conductor it has to be in contact with the hot parts. Even with hard drives mounted in metal bays, one can see from the side of the drive and by taking a finely made straightedge, that their sides are only flat enough to be in contact with a small % of the metal. Wrong when the flexible drive bay stack is screwed up to the drive properly. You're wrong again... It depends on the case. -- I used to have abs. Now, I've just got ab.

I have 4 cases in use and only one even makes metal to metal contact on the hard drives. The Dell cases at work have no metal to metal contct with drives, so that puts him at *BUUZZZZZZZZT!!* Wrong in a vast majority of computer cases. -- I used to have abs. Now, I've just got ab.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never ever had a ****ing clue about anything at all, ever. Lets see, I have three hard drives sitting here right now. Laying a steel ruler across the mounting screw holes I see; ha! whataya know, there is a raised area around all three screw holes so when you tighten all three screws only about 1/8" actually makes metal to metal contact. Looks like you are, yep, wrong. And as I pointed out earlier, that is ASSuming that the particular case in question has a mounting solution that actually provides metal contact, most don;t these days for reason of noise concerns. You can't back out of this one. Maybe your cases are built like tin-foil. That'd come closer to doing what you suggest but mine are a wee bit to thick. We've already covered this topic Rod, Yep, you got done like a dinner, as always. don't be a sore loser. Never ever could bull**** its way out of a wet paper bag. No you can't. When you're right you are right, but when you are wrong you try this and it rarely works. You should stop trying. Never could explain how the metal drive bay stack ends up at the same temp as the adjacent drive frame metal either. On my Lian Li it doesn't. The rack gets warm, but not nearly as warm as the drives in it and it's all aluminum. -- I used to have abs. Now, I've just got ab.

I suspect the main reason for using metal is electromagnetic shielding, as plastic side panels usually have a thin metal shield on them. wrote: Is the primary motive for having metal cases to encourage heat dissipation? Thank you. -- Mike Walsh West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S.A. |

And as I pointed out earlier, that is ASSuming that the particular case in question has a mounting solution that actually provides metal contact, most don;t these days for reason of noise concerns. Bull****. You can't back out of this one. Fraid so, there are plenty of cases that have proper metal contact in the drive bay stack. Maybe your cases are built like tin-foil. That'd come closer to doing what you suggest but mine are a wee bit to thick. We've already covered this topic Rod, Yep, you got done like a dinner, as always. don't be a sore loser. Never ever could bull**** its way out of a wet paper bag. No you can't. When you're right you are right, but when you are wrong you try this and it rarely works. You should stop trying. You should let go of your dick before you end up completely blind. Never could explain how the metal drive bay stack ends up at the same temp as the adjacent drive frame metal either. On my Lian Li it doesn't. Pity about all the rest. The rack gets warm, but not nearly as warm as the drives in it and it's all aluminum. But doesnt have metal to metal contact, stupid. |

Wrong with the cheaper cases and the technical term for your 4 is 'pathetically inadequate sample' |
