QUOTE(radioactive @ Mar 25 2006, 01:09 AM) Jus put a 80mm fan under the hdd..the black part where the motor is..ur hdd will plunge to room temp...u better remove tht sponge..its very bad...tht under part was specifically designed to dissipate heat which explains its uneven bottom painted wif black..a good colour for heat dissipation. that will kill your hard disk faster dude. with all the static from the dust short circuiting the board  . anyhow my vote goes to all an gap's mod. i saw the old t3 casing that comes with 2 same design heat sink like allngap ones but shorter and more fins. owh its made out of copper. so its kinda bad if you don't have a fan to blow it

you mean the side of the hard disk? i saw swiftech's hard disk cooler. it cools by the side of the hard disk. but you can only install it on the cd rom bay
