I'm building a new PC and the case has temperature sensors for the CPU, 
video card, and hard drive. I've never built a case with these. Where's the 
best place to attach these?

Here's what I've done so far. I applied thermal grease to the CPU, stuck 
the sensor on the top (on top, but towards the edge) of the CPU, and 
affixed the heat sink/fan on top. For the video card, I removed the fan, 
used the special scotch tape like stuff and taped the sensor on the heat 
sink under the fan, and put the fan back on. And I really don't know where 
to start with the hard drive. Any advice would be great. I probably won't 
hit the power switch until I hear from you guys.

Thanks,
