cooling hard disks

Currently on my desktop I have two hard disks an IDE and a SATA.
Initally I was reluctant to use two hard disks in the confined space of the computer box, since they would be one on top of the other and the heat levels would be rather high as well.
A spare fan lurking deep in the parts box came to rescue. It was attached as seen in the pic and keeps both disks surprisingly cool.



















I haven't tried it with the box closed, but it is thin enough to allow the box cover to close.
DONOT EVER hit or stop this fan intentionaly or by mistake. The moment I did, the HD stoped responding and I had to reboot.
