After processors and graphics cards it is now possible to cool your harddisks with water.
The guys over @ Digital-Explosion have an article online how to do just that.
Here's a byte: So how do you cool two hot disks with water? Well, some imspection of my Seagate Barracuda's revealed that there's what appears to be a large aluminium heat-transfer block that runs right through the disk. This is the bit you normally attatch to your case. So, the best option I figured would be to bolt a couple of plates to this and cool them with water. Unfortunately, bolting to the sides only gives you quite a small contact-area so to increase the effectivety of the cooler I decided to sandwich the two drives around another cooled plate. To cool these plates down the easiest thing to do is solder some copper pipes directly to them and connect it up to my existing rig. Head over and read the article if you're interested.
