hdd cooler
i've got an 80gb Hitachi Deskstat hard disk (7200 rpm) on a ASUS A8n VM mother board and AMD Athlon 64 3200+. i've got a fairly large cabinet (iball grabit). i recently saw a hdd cooler in the market ( contraption with a fan to be fitted above the hdd). its retailing for rs 150. would it be good for my sys and/or hdd? does it really make lot of diff?

Re: hdd cooler
Haven't used any HDD cooler but yes cool air blowing across the HDD does help in keeping the temperature low or well within the limit.

Re: hdd cooler
It increases the life of the HDD by cooling it. I don't have place to fit it so i have to keep my cabinet open. I have a 5 yr. old 10 GB HDD which is still working.

Re: hdd cooler
Attaching it will make more dust to accumulate on HDD. Normally any 7200rpm drives wont deen any coolers unless uve some array of them and no space b/w them.
But 3x 800 cab fans for 150 bucks and attach one in front. Its better.

Re: hdd cooler
i've already installed 2 fans in my cabinet (iball grabbit). one is on the processor (of course) and another one is on the side of the cabinet where there's an outlet. can i put any more fans in my cabinet even though there are no more outlets without cutting my cabinet?

Re: hdd cooler
@xbonez
Use a fan as inlet on front, below the HHD position. Most cabbys have fan slot there.
