I did a small mod to my case last night. I have two hard drive bay coolers, Antec I think. Each one has two 40mm fans, mounts in a 5.25 bay and blows air across the hard drive. Last night I put my own can controller in so I could adjust the fan speed. Home made out of a high wattage potentiometer I scrounged up. Of all the fans in my PC these two bay coolers mack the most noise, the reason for the mod.;) Anyway with the fans on full speed my two Maxtor's run at about 19 c with a case temp of 21 according to MBM. I just set them to the slowest speed and their temps are 28 for my C drive and 24 for D. Quit a difference, almost 10 c. I know some people are skeptical as to whether these bay coolers actually work. Seems to me they do.:D
