Introduction

It doesn't matter if your computer is air or water-cooled, is used as a workstation or gaming rig: air circulation is key to keeping your system running. Most people circulate air by using strategically placed fans, while others use water-cooling, heat pipes, and other technology, but one principle remains the same, to move warm air away from system components. Scythe has introduced their Kama bay to provide efficient, yet quiet airflow wherever you may need it. The most common use will be to cool hard drives in your system's drive bay, which can be more effective than individual drive coolers.
