Well, you don't have a case. Are the drvies external drives or internal drives?

I don't know of any cooling fans for external drives but there are cooling fans for internal drives. http://www.antec.com/index.php?page=cookieSet should have what you need.

 

Aditionally, if you aren't confined to a case, you could simply rig a standard case cooling fan to blow between the drives but you'll need to leave room between the drives.

 

Stay cool, :)

Either....1) buy a case, if you find a good shop theu are dirt cheap.2) make a case yourself3) dont stack the drives... buy a round ide cable and ut them side by side4) get some rubber feet, or make wedges so seperate the stacked drives, put some air between the disks.You really should have a case, a case will Protect your computer from possable sources of interfereance, and keep the dusk out.

buying a case would be a very good idea especially since they are internal hardrives.that way there can be fans to circulate the hot air and you might be able to get fans to directly cool down the hardrive. it will also protect the hardrive from damage.
