Recommend me a hard drive cooler

[Nocturnal]

I have that Antec SOHO server case and I basically need two HDD coolers. I also need more case fans. Are there any websites out there that have tutorials on how to place or where to place huge fans to keep my case cool? I don't really care about noise at this moment. I really need to cool my computer down.

If you decide to get HD coolers, please do not get Vantec's 'Vortex'. They suck! Stick with Coolermaster's 'Cooldrive 3'. Even though they have a 40mm fan, they still do the job.

As for case fans, the same rule follows

Front and side = intake
Back and top = exhaust

Try to keep the cfm on the intake equal to the exhaust. Remember, vacuum's suck (more dust into your rig).

And use a filter on the intake fans.

Site's to see:

Cooltechnica.com
Directron.com
FrozenCPU.com
Performance-PCs.com
SVC.com
Xoxide.com
xPCgear.com

Good luck.

I thought all the Antec server cases have intake fans that blow across the HD's.
If yours does, ditch the coolers and use intake fans. Even mounting the hard disks so they obstruct as little airflow as possible your disk will stay very cool.
