Hi. i've got an nzxt phantom (full tower), and i was wondering about cooling my harddrive. i was wondering if the "Aqua Computer Aquadrive micro - copper" would fit in the hard drive bays. now i know a lot of people say that its is pointless, but i thought it would look cool and also reduce ambient temps a bit (as the heat from hard drives is being pulled in to the water loop instead of the air.)

thanks

Erm... I don't even know where to start.

It IS pointless - yes, the small amount of heat your harddrive is producing is going into the water loop, but where do you think it's going from there? The fans are dragging cold air in from outside the case and pushing the hot air into the case.

There's also no need to cool down a 3.5" drive, as it produces barely nothing compared to everything else in the computer.
