I've used Icy Dock cages for regular HHD's for years. Loved them. Recently I've started switching over to all SSD drives, mounted in these Icy Dock cages. Love them! But, I had a problem. In the photo you can see where I have removed the old Icy Dock cage that had held 5 HHD drives in a vertical position and placed one of the new Icy Dock cages that holds 4 SSD drives in a horizontal position. Although everything works great, there is a large opening above the new Icy Dock cage. So, I went down to the local hardware store and purchased a sheet of tin that has thousands od little holes punched in it...and then painted black. Using some graph paper to make a template, I was able to fabricat a piece of the "screen" that would just fit into the opening. I then mounted a blue LED case fan on the back side of the screen. It provided a nice way to fill the "whole" and add a cooling fan at the same time! If you're reading this, Icy Dock, you might consider adding such a "Filling Screen" to your product line! I'm sure they would sell! I later bought an Icy Dock cage that held 6 SSD drives. Of course I had to faburacat a slightly smaller screen-filler. And, since the available space was smaller, I couldn't use N 80cm fan, so I used 2 60cm fans placed side by side. Works great....looks great!!!
