Passive cooler for a Raptor X

[drifter_888]

Anyone have any ideas for a Passive cooler for a WD Raptor X. I want to quiet the noise level and keep the drive cool.

I've seen some others that get the old CPU heatsink from a P4 -- the old socket 7 variety (there's got to be a ton of them lying around) -- and use thermal adhesive to attach to the top of the HD.

have you ever felt a raptor they run cool - if its too loud use a case like antec 180 with its laminated doors. putting in a box is not the best idea
