Recommended hard drive cooling device?

I have no extra cooling devices around - can someone point me to a good one that would be cheap and perfect for my 7200RPM Quantum? It is really hot to the touch and I want to keep it healthy as long as I can.

Thanks.
 
You most likely don't need any cooling. The Quantum's run a bit warmer than other IDE drives, don't worry about. The drives are spec'd to operate properly in 130 degree heat, as in the temperature of the air in your case, not the actual drive itself, which is probably much higher.
 
baycooler. you can find it for like less than $15 US online.

or you can make your own. if you want something that is for an internal 3.5 bay, there is the slim HDD cooler or something like that...
