Richard,
have you checked the temp of your hdd's or cpu before and after adding
your monster heat sinks?  i'm curious as to how it compares.  i can
see it being rather effective if it's setup properly and is able to
get good airflow through/over the heat sinks.  but i would think that
it would be rather difficult with standard cases.
just curious.
