Do you have any specific hard drive cooling?  Or is it simply a matter of
case fans and the airflow created?

Or did you just turn the drive on ;)?

26 seems awfully low (mine idle at 35-40) and I wanted to know if the WD
Green drives are really that much cooler.  If it's 26 without any
heatsinks/freeze spray, I'm definitely more excited about getting the WD
Green as it would show that they actually do run as cool as advertised, and
it's not marketing just pitching them as a cooler running drive.
