It's really pretty impressive. Well when I take out ANY hard drive from my L100 after its been running for about an hour (NOT OVERCLOCKED!) the hard drive comes out WAY too hot to hold onto (to the extent that when I was installing it and had to keep putting it in and out of the libby, I had a piece of paper just the right size to hold onto the thing!). Even my overclocked L50, just after thermal shutdown, never got that hot ... perhaps the L50/70's were more heat sensitive (hence the lower thermal shutdown threshold). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
