After looking at the fan shrouds that Hoot and others have made my cheap hard drive cooler looks bad but here it is anyway. It took like 20 minutes. I used a 60 mm fan from a stock HSF generic. I had it laying around. Since I don't have a dremel yet I drilled holes for the airflow. Then I used a file to get rid of all the sharp edges. I am getting cheap lately because I am moving this month and I got bored and did this to the bottom of the Hard Drive cage. I thought some others might be interested.

Here it is.
 
It doesn't look bad to me. A full speed 60mm might make too much noise if it's a concern. I slow down all of my fans and get nice temps.
