obviously, if you cool the hdd from the sides, you cant keep on using the 3 1/2 bay...

He he, I see what you mean. I was trying to get you to clarify your point.
My issue is that it doesn't do anything to the chipset on the HDD.
I suppose we could come up with a side-mounted copper waterblock that would be able to mount 2 or 4 HDDs, if this block had holes drilled through it, to mount the HDDs, but that's getting into custom screws (threaded rod), unless there's a lip at the bottom of that hole, then it could take normal screws. Of course this would have to fit in a 5 1/4 bay, or, if kept pretty small, custom fitted, somehow...
It still doesn't address the HDD chipset issue though. Any ideas?
