I use a bit of electrical tape over my blindingly blue LED. Works great.
My wife really likes purple so the red over blue had a high WAF 8^)
I found that setting my three HDDs to spin down after 5 minutes gave me a
10 degree drop in temps according to mbmon. That made the fans slow down
and made the ambient noise much less. I've also just bought replacement IDE
cables that are round so i won't have as many obstructions to case airflow
Can you tell us how you set the drives to spin down after 5 minutes? I'd like to do the same thing. Thanks.

This is in my /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh, which is in a different
place than the above how-to points to. The first 240 numbers represent
5 second intervals so 60*5 = 300 = 5 minutes. The 240 in the how-to is
20 minutes. I do notice that my hda drive doesn't sleep or at least
not when I'm checking it but the other two do. I have a three disk lvm
set up including most of the first disk and all of the other two (all
200gb Maxtors)
# allow the disks to spindown after 5 minutes of idle
/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hda
