So, it's at this extremely annoying place that makes it a bitch to do any cable management at my PSU and hard drives, so my question is, should I remove it?

Would it have any real impact on the coolness of my hard drives or the PSU? I was thinking about putting the 120mm fan to the 5.25 top bay (3 5.25s are free, so ample space) and just tie it with zip ties to increase airflow around the top of my case.

What do you think?

You don't need a fan to cool HDDs. They aren't Oced are they?

I Oced mine to have more Data capacity. Went from 250GB to 300GB and the temps are stable.

Correcto mundo. I have mine in the 5.25 bays.

Edit: nevermind the fan there. I removed it suffering 2 degrees Celsius temp. drop.

Hardrivatuner is a good proggie but it fucked my Xp install once. I had to do a reinstall. But it did boost writing speed by approx. 10%.

lol, I did.

But I swear, I knew overclocking hard drives wasn't possible

Wait? HDD in 5.25 bay?
But I has 3.5 hard drives, and they don't fit in the bay, no 5.25 to 3.5 cages with my case, and the upper HD cage that is on that pic isn't in my case, had to remove it to fit my 8800GTX. I wanted to put the fan up there.......

So strapping my 120mm fan up there with tie wraps isn't ghetto enough for you people, I have to put a HDD too?

More fresh air. You don't need to but I'd suggest you do. Alternatively you could get something similar to this http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=379

Meh, then I'd have to route more cables to the 5.25 bay.

I got 4 hard drives in that lower cage, and they are all very happy.

I'll tie the fan up there though. Should provide my case with more airflow.
