You are correct about the heat for internals. Originally, I put my 2
internal CD drives, the CD-ROM and the CD-RW one above the other.
Sometimes I copy from one to the other and much heat was generated. I
saw the case heat rising via a temp monitoring program I use, and
corrected that by reconfiguring the h/w so that they were separated by
one bay. In that empty bay I put a small drive-fan insert that blows air
between the two. A good solution.
