Installation is a snap if you have 3 free drive bays to take up. I know that my case does not, with two DVD drives and an LCD module. However, with the advent of the new DVD combo drives many new computers ship with only one drive, and may have 3 free bays. The upright installation is definitely the best way to take advantage of the Kama Bay Cooler. Acting as a front intake, pushing air into the case, it will assist in creating a positive pressure inside your case, preventing dust from entering anywhere other than the filter. Also, it will have far more effect installed upright as opposed to pushing hot air from your CD drives onto your hard drives, or vice versa. Speaking of HDD cooling, if installed out of the box in the single bay configuration, the fan will in fact be blowing air over your CD drives. In order to get any airflow over your hard drives, if in fact your case has no panel or floppy drives between the 5.25" bays and 3.5" hdd bays, you just have to flip the fan over.

In order to install the fan upright, as shown, simply attach the 4 tabs with the provided screws, and it's a snap from there to attach to the drive bay. If your case uses drive rails, this probably won't work. I found the quality of the assembly here to be top notch. The tabs have counter sunk holes for the screws provided, and on top of that, the holes are even threaded for the proper sized screws. All the screws you could ever need are provided in separate little baggies. The only thing this product lacks is a straightforward English manual despite the ease of installation. Installed, the fan is very quiet and much quieter than the hard drive in the computer shown. Nonetheless, it still moves a decent amount of air which is far greater amount than 3 blank faceplates.
