I bought one of these little fan thingies that they sell at a local store. It replaces one of the 5-1/4" cover plates on the front of the computer with a new plate that has two fans. It has a plug that operates off of disk drive power. This blows air directly over my hard disk and hopefully extend the drive life. I know from my work that higher temperatures shorten the life of electrolytic capacitors dramaticly. Keeping it a few degrees cooler can mean the difference between a 10yr life expectancy and a 3yr life expectancy for most electronic devices.
