The upper HDD bay is empty, it will hold dual 250gb HDDs in a RAID 0 once the planed upgrade finally takes place. The lower bay has 2 500BG WD R2 drives in RAID 1 and a 74GB Raptor for the OS. It will be eliminated for the quieter striped 7200 RPM HDDs. The rear exaust fan is not used (disconnected).
All the fans run in the low setting and the GPU fan is controlled by AtiTool to be off until it gets to 50C. Once it gets to 51C, the fan spins up to 100% until it goes down to 49C. It stays around 45 - 48C in idle so its completely silent!
The CPU idles at about 35 - 40C but never passes 55C under load. Nice for a overclocked Prescott P4!

I'm still happy with my computer, it works fine for the use I give it (not a big gamer). I need more power for Adobe's CS3 and power sucking Vista!
