How to cool 2 harddrives..?

[SubZero]

I have 2 WD drives in my case (which after I bought it seemed a lot smaller then before). Inbetween the 2 harddrives I have my floppy drive.

When I build my system a couple of months ago I had them right above eachother but couldn't even touch them without burning my fingers so I put my floppy drive inbetween.

I feel overheating is one of the biggest causes for hardrive failure. What would be a good 'small space' sollution (if any)??

The solution I want to use is toooooo expensive.

That's what I currently do. :)

I'm afraid the layout of my case doesn't give me much room for extra fans.. Or at least I'm missing some mouting points. Maybe I should just drill a couple of mounting holes...

Are there any harddrive coolers available.. maybe the size of 1 3.5" bay or something?

get a hd rack from another case or build one yourself.

place it on the very bottom of your case with the 2 hds spaced from each other.

HTH :-)

AHh!! Thanks for the enlightment! ;)

I could never get used to those abrevs....

I'll open up my case and do some remodding... if you don't hear from me in a couple weeks you'll know it went terribly wrong! :smash:
