You only really need to worry about cooling if you got more than a couple stacked together, or you've got the 10,000RPM drives. Like I said, I've got nothing directly on the hard drives and my hard drive is at 32C all the time. That's a WD Caviar Blue 7,200RPM drive so it's not an especially cool drive.

lol, the door on my case stays open all the time. I always have a guitar cable plugged into the front, so I just leave it open.

Haha yeah my case is pretty much always open too. I have a really powerful desk fan always blowing on it, aimed right at the vid card.
Doesn't look good but drops the temp by about 10 degrees C thereabouts. My system usually runs at about 45-65 degrees, which is hotter than I'd like, but nothing dangerous.

I have 2 10kRPM HDDs stacked on each other and my files are p-preciouss so I worry about their cooling needs :V

Hah, yeah, 2 10k RPM drives stacked will definitely generate heat. One of my computers has a really hot video card and no cooling for it at all, so sometimes when I use that computer I have to take the side panel off XD
