I've put full height drives in 86/9600 chassis front bays, very similar 
to the G3 tower. As surmised, just remove the drive tray above the drive 
for a full height space. Cooling might be an issue though - I used a big 
fan mounted behind the drive to blow cooling air over the drive.

The Seagate Elite fullheight drives were _very_ cheap 6 mo. ago, the 47GB 
UW model was selling for $20 - $30 apiece and must be cheaper now. For a 
server, it's hard to beat these old monsters as they were designed for 
continuous duty. I've currently got a total of 6 Elites in external cases 
on my server, 3 x 23GB + 3 x 47GB, running 24/7/365 with zero failures 
since I started using them several years ago. Cheap and reliable storage 
if you've got the space for 'em.

hth,

Dan K
