Yeah, it turned out really nice. It's really hard to keep it uncluttered though once you hook up all the power/drive cables. Oh well, it still turned out good. Any ways, yeah... there are copper cooling blocks on the CPU, motherboard chipset, and Radeon GPU... plus, a hard drive block sandwiched in-between each part of SATA drives (one right side up, one upside down). You take an encapsulation material you mix together and spread onto the motor and circuit board area on each drive. Then bolt the block on (the second drive just has a thin metal plate. Then you bolt them all into place pressed together in the drive cage. The material is non-conductive and dries into a molding that transfers the heat to the block. It's pretty slick and the drive stay nice and cool, instead of getting really hot like they normally do!
