I have 3 really loud fans in my system 2x 120 mm wich cool my hard drives (2x sata 10k rpm raptors) and a venus 12 for the (CPU Athlon 64 3200) wich is by far the loudest. I want to take these fans out and get water cooling so I can get some silence.

My question is will these hard drives run fine with out any cooling? or do I need to empty my piggy bank and buy 2x of this http://www.koolance.com/shop/default.php?cPath=29_45 this is the unit im planning on purchasing btw http://www.koolance.com/shop/p..._41&products_id=88

You should move this to the "Cases & Cooling" forum.

Having said that, air is the way to go for silent cooling unless you preparted to speend $300+.
