I have the ASpire Q-Pack and want to put 3 hard drives in here is this safe...

the drives that mount on the side are mounted awfully close and I am worried about heat build up. Also the exteranl 3.5 drive bay does not have screws for a hard drive i guess its meant for a floppy. In any event the hard drives I am using are in my signature. Please advise on the best placement and mounting for the hard drives so that I can elimate heat issues. should i add a hard drive cooler in the free 5.25 bay.
 
2 in hard drive tray 1 in floppy bay.

They should be fine...just put a fan on the side or something.
 
the one in the floppy doesnt have the screw holes to mount a harddrive. I'd suggest drilling, or if you're brave like me, have so many cables hidden between the the harddrive and the cdrom drive that it naturally keeps it down :x.
 
if you are not using 2 optical drives you can put a drive carrier in one of the 5 1/4" bays. many of these come with a couple small fans, and you can swap out drives, if you are so inclined.
