    anyone know of anyway to cool a notebook hard drive. right now i have a cooling pad but it still runs at 55 degrees and that's way to hot for my liking, my desktop with a hard drive cooler runs at 33 and thats much better. its a dell inspiron 8100 if you need to know.

    yeah i have that one but i found out that if i blow air into the PCMCIA slow at idle i can drop my process or temp to 23from 40, the GPU temp to 28 from 43 and the hard drive from 60 to 38, that is a really big improvement and some companies did make a PCMCIA slow cooler but they stopped making them once win ME came out because they stopped providing constant power to the slot, now they need data before they provide power. and i can't find anyone that makes them anymore. under load it does just as good using prime 95 and a slow cooler i can keep the CPU temp at 32, not bad in my book. but right now i am more worried about the hard drive because its running at almost 60 and that's just too hot.
