Well, sorry for being away so long. I believe Und3ertak3r has hit the nail on the head. I touched my HD and did infact discover that it was very warm. VERY warm. All this time I had been concentrating on adequate airflow for the MB and CPU, I hadnt realized that it was insufficient for the HD's as well. Like an idiot, I had both HD's and the floppy installed in the same bays together. I have seperated the floppy from them and with an adapter installed it in a 5.25 bay, and created a space between the HD's. I also installed another fan to eliminate heat from the HD's. Stupidity has a price lol. BTW, what is a lan party?
