Does anyone know of a HDD cooler that uses rear fans and converts a 5.25 bay into a 3.5. The reason for the rear fans is my case (the antec sonata) has a door. Thanks in advance.

You could always use something like this Vantec hd cooler and pick up some mounting brackets from your local mom + pop computer store to put the drive in a 5.25" bay.

The biggest issue I have/had w/ those "underside" mounted fans was they'd DIE so d@mn fast on me! Granted, replacing the whole unit was cheaper than just the fan..but still. I really like having the setup I do now, case fan blows right over the HD. Seems most effective as well, keeps both top and bottom cool.
