Not if you don't mind buying a new one on a regular basis. Otherwise, yes. >is it possible to make one myself? as theyre a little pricey(yeah i know, if >i can afford the drive i should be able to afford a cooler but im cheap!) You should be able to do this. I have a Seagate Barracuda ultra/narrow SCSI at 7200rpm. At first I thought I could run it without cooling, but it got much too hot for comfort. I simply mounted a fan in the case so that it would be blowing directly over the drive, and now the drive is only luke-warm to the touch even after it's been running overnight. Seagate's Barracuda and Cheetah drives are, IMO, among the best available (their IDE drives, OTOH, leave much to be desired). However, they are very hot and very noisy (and don't forget very expensive), :) so if you don't want a cooler or if you have a problem with some noise, consider another brand.
