I am thinking about throwing a 3rd HD into my Digital Audio tower

the unused zip bay. I currently have 2 on the main ATA bus. I know

but I
would put a HD there as what I would consider near line storage. Not
quite off line, but for semi archival use.
Has anyone done this? Will a HD fit into the Zip bay? Will this
put the
heat levels over the top? I do have a pci slot fan for an overclocked
MX4 64meg video card.
I had a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120gb 7200rpm drive in the Zip bay on
my old G4 Mystic DP 450 with no ill effects. The screw holes don't
line up so I just left it in there loose. Considering the tower never
moved it wasn't really a problem. I had a clone of the RAID 0 setup on
the other two HDs, and had it jumpered the slave to the Superdrive's
master.
Worked fine. YMMV, of course.
What he said, except mine is an old 10G drive used for some scratch
space. Has been working fine for several months now. Like his, mine
is just sitting in there.
