I have just installed a Seagate Barracuda 120gb onto my computer and since then the case gets very warm. Also CD's are a bit on the warm side as well after use. Can anyone recommend a good case fan to stop the overheating or anything else that I can do? Also I installed sp 2 and since then my recycle bin icon has changed can anybody tell me how to get the original one back?

Thanks in advance Hughie

What are your normal CPU / System temps right now?

I just put in a 200Gb Seagate 2 months ago and haven't had a heat problem.

Is the HD installed right under the CD drive?

You could try moving the HD down into a lower cage slot. Or, they sell HD cooler devices online that may help.

Also, how many case fans do you currently have and how are they installed?
