    Just yesterday I noticed that when i touch the lower left side (that's where my 500GB 7200 Rpm HDD is) of the keyboard it feels kind of warm... i didn't notice this earlier so i'm not sure if it's normal or not. Everest shows that my HDD is running at 50°C. Is that normal ?? Because if it is, it's the same as my idle GPU temps... which is odd.

    Pretty normal. At what room temperature are you using your laptop?
