Vantec's Ultimate Hard Drive Cooler is the best HDD cooler there is, it has two 40MM fans that are over 20MM thick! And a HUGE blue HSF.
www.1coolpc.com sells them.
If they don't then www.sidewindercomputers.com might.
Cools my HDD down to ambient!:beer:

do u use the onboard temp prob on the hdd?
well i keep my hdd's in the 5.25" bays so they dont get any air flow.. and those crappy 20 dollar vantec coolers suck..

I also put mine in a bay, i've got 3 case fans - which keep down the case temp, never had any problems with the temp of the hard disk

That is the best!!!!!
The ultimate HDD cooler rocks!
Cooling with fans doesn't work very well you need a HSF to TRANSFER the heat away.

I have This (http://www.directron.com/khd201.html) and also use the one Jester is selling they are both about equal in Quality
Now I'll have to look but theres a 3 drive cooler that takes 2 5.25" drive bays powered by one 80mm fan
I'm not sure where I saw it but I'll try to find it.
