As for temps on the drives, the run in the high 20's, low 30's according to SMART.
The design of the case is such that the airflow is actually pulled past the drives, thus creating a weak, but viable "active" cooling effect.
Sounds like a solid design I'm liking that case, maybe I'll upgrade mine if I can fit the new case. The height of my old one is a bit smaller and just fits I think.

Awesome thread but I kind of wish I never clicked on it. I always end wanting to spend more money on toys. What kind of speakers are you using with it?

Well thanks.
I'm using some crappo 5.1 channel surround speakers I inherited from a friend. Sadly, I haven't been able to save up enough to get the ones I want. As a note on audio, I'm so glad to have a new receiver. Setting the HTPC to 5.1 channel out, I get full 5.1 channel sound from my AC3 audio streams, whereas with my old setup I got expanded stereo with no sub channel.
I'm now discovering that a lot of shows have a much more pounding base line than I originally gave them credit for. lol
These are the ones I really want in the near/mid term:

The Epic 80 - 500 7.1 channel Home Theater System from Axiom Audio
My real dream is some Klipsch (always been a fan since they brought out their Promedia series for computer), but those are nearly 3x as expensive as the Axiom's.

It get's warm, but not hot. Stock speeds since it's an HTPC, and it runs in the mid-high 40's, sometimes low 50's. I've never heard the CPU fan ramp up.
