My 3 Maxtor 160 GBs heat up entirely too much from entirely too much idling. I just stuck fans behind the hard drives. My new case (Lian-Li) came with fans installed behind the vertical hard drive mount tray, so my HDs keep relatively cool now. But before that, my 3 hard drives on the lower tray would get almost to the point where it could burn your skin. From idling. Just stick some badass fans on there is all I can suggest. Possibly some heat-dissipation modules that you attach to the HD itself. Other than that, I got nothin'.
