As of now, my two HDDs are running at 44°C and 46°C. That's again, with the ambient temperature at 33°C. Generally, they run below 40° on a normal day and that's without a front intake fan pulling air through them. With an intake fan in place, they should on a light load run in the high 30°s. Everything on that list is running at about 10°C below what it should be, with the exception of the processor which I imagine is severely overclocked, explaining the high temps. The 9600GT I installed was running mid-30s at idle, but that was with a slightly better cooler. I'd expect from a good manufacturer that the stock cooler should leave you with idle temps around the low 40s on that card.

Definitely, and something I will eventually consider. Even more so because as we speak my GPU is sitting idle on 80c (176f) after I have left the computer purposely on for 36 hours. Meanwhile both cores are at 34c and 33c (91f and 93f, respectively). Room temperature is around 30c (86f).

Basically the GPU increased two degrees Celsius (35 Fahrenheit). Despite Nvidia tech support reassurance, it just seems almost careless to allow my GPU to sit at that temp in idle mode. Besides its contributing to the overall temp inside the case in unhealthy ways.

EDIT: My HDD instead, is surprisingly low all things considered. It's running at 40c (103f) after a night and a morning of labor with torrents

Have a look at the temps now, I can see they're pretty low. I can only guess they rise in temperature as it gets hotter inside the case and as they are powered on a for a while (I just booted the computer!).

HD temps are 27, 24, 27, 25.
CPU is 29.
GPU is 41.

For now, at least.
