I've seen hard drive coolers, but I don't know if they would fit.  Two of my
four drives are mounted in 5.25" bays, so maybe cooler(s) would fit there.  But
the other two are packed tightly together into internal 3.5" bays.  Do you think
there's a straightforward to cool those?

PS: I have no free bays at all.

PPS: I recently saw a cooling device that fits into a PCI slot.  Anybody have
experience with those?
