This means no larger than 1" height or so. I run two lo-pro 7200rpm SCSI drives plus a white-hot G3 card, and no heat problems yet in this 7300 (knock on wood) -- but a half-height Barracuda wilted within two months inside it. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Son, God's going to use you.
