Cheapskate's Drive Fan Recipe:

One 486-early-Pentium CPU fan w/HDD-style power input

One 5.25" drive-bay cover

4 2.5mm x 10mm woodscrews

1 Dremel Tool or Flexshaft

  Cut a round hole in the bay cover, the diameter of the fan itself or
slightly smaller.
  Drill mount holes to match the fan housing.
  Slot the cover to accomodate the power leads - either in from the edge
or out from the fan opening.
  Screw fan to cover, plug to spare power lead, clip bay cover into
place. If you're as anal as I am, grind screw points flush to the
plastic on the inside.

  Much cheaper & much quieter than the commercial bay coolers. If your
PSU sucks air into the case, orient the fan to blow out, or vice versa.
