They are Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM cheap drives.  The controller is 
on the mobo.

My case has 6 fans - 4 on the front blowing across the drives, 1 in back 
and 1 on the site.  I didn't think drive heat would be a problem :)

Now I added some $10 Fry's heat sink / fan combo drive coolers to both 
drives and am  keeping the drives under 100F.  All is cool (pun intended).

So has anyone else had this problem?  Or am I just extra rough on my 
toys?  I realized years ago that the reason I use Linux is because it 
can take what I do to a computer.
