I installed my 20GB HDD, and removed the spacers back when Neil said to removed those things post haste! But Pres has said that he had TWO... not one but TWO Libs go belly up AFTER removing those spacers and installing 9.5mm HDDs! And now David has confirmed that a number of other people had the same experience. Of course I don't know the full circumstances surrounding these other failures. Had they shoved their HDDs into their Libs once or twice BEFORE finally removing the spacers? Were they being operated in extremely hot conditions that the larges HDD affectewd somehow? Still, it seems I've read where a lot of people have bought and installed 9.5mm HDDs recently. And I don't remember and posts about problems with those. Though I'm great at missing huge things that are taped to my nose.
