Roy, What type of Hard drives do you have? 10,000 to 15,000 RPM drives get very hot and often require their own cooler devices. It might be a good idea to clean your processor heatsink fins and fan with a jet of compressed air and to also do the same to the power supply. Your idea to have throughput of air is valid. I am not sure how you screwed up the fan but a polarity reversal on the rear fans would do no harm. Maybe you could just mount the fan blades in reverse. Why does anyone need four hard drives? Just get a couple of fast 180 GB Barracuda-type drives with coolers.
