Roberto:
There are some fans available for this purpose -- the one that I've seen is
installed in the slot over the hard drive. It causes air to flow over the top
of the drive and then to the outside of the case (or the other way around if
that suits you better).

There is an excellent white paper on the general subject of case cooling at
the AMD site in PDF format; it's well worth reading.

FWIW, Fujitsu has gotten out of the hard drive business.
