1st build almost done, need help !!!!

i"ve mounted 2 hard drives, one below the other in an acrylic case just above the front intake fan and just below the 3.5 drive.

Do you think there will be too much buildup of heat in between them? this link is similar to show the location.

I would think if your cooling is adequate you shouldn't have a problem.

Of course the more space between them - the better.

I think that you will love the looks of the case once you are totally finished. My friend had the clear acrylic and it looked awesome. However he has recently switched to a regular case and noticed a nice drop in temps. When he had the Acrylic he removed the fins in front of each fan enclosure and it made a huge difference in the temps, just make sure you have some sort of guard if you do remove the material in front of the fans.

I would put the HDD's behind the fan (arrows in pic) and the floppy in one the external 3.5 dives.
