I have got 1 hdd that is running very hot as it is inbetween 2 other hdd's.

I need to put this hdd into a 5 1/2 bay to cool it as i don;t have space anywhere else.

Does anyone know where i can get a cheap solution as i don't want to spent £30 on an enclosure.

You can get sets of rails or similar to allow you to fit 3.5" drives into 5.25" bays. Shouldn't be more than £3 or so.

Zalman HDD Heatpipe cooler fits in a 5 1/4" bay and also will cool your HDD plus reduce vibrations as its mounted on rubbers.
O/C sell it for ~£21 but u can get it cheaper elsewhere (i paid £16).

managed to find something on a well known auction site for £3.50 so that should help
