Inclose Baycooler 2 Hard Drive Cooler Review

BAYCOOLER-2 by inClose
The Ultimate Hard Drive Cooling Kit!

Installation:

The installation is pretty straightforward...  That's pretty much what I had expected Everything from the front grill right on back to the hard drive mounting chassis is already assembled in the box.  The only thing you're required to do is mount your hard drive, install it in your drive bay, and connect the hard drive, power supply, and LED connectors.    Here's a detailed diagram showing all the parts:
