I love these drives, they run quiet, they run cool and they are just
fine performance wise. I have a Maxtor drive that runs at 48 degrees C,
whereas my ST340021A (80GB) runs at 34 degrees. My mom has the 40 GB
version of these and those drives run at 27 degrees.
For cases I love Antec. I recently built a system with the SX835II from
Antec (see
http://www.antec-inc.com/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=80843). It is
hard to tell if the PC is on despite the CPU fan, video GPU fan, dual
fan power supply + 2 case fans. The cases are beautiful to work with as
well (no sharp edges, nice hinged side door, etc.).
