My 7500 with a pair of Seagate 7200 rpm 9.1 GB internal drives has been running for more than a year with no problems. A Rage Orion 128 is the only PCI card installed. The processor is an XLR8 G3/466MHz/1GB. The lower drive runs about 27-37 C and the processor is well within its temp limits. (I'm not at the 7500 now so can quote a processor temp.)
I suggest installing a fan attached to the metal support next to the daughter card. See: <http://www.geocities.com/glenstrek/7500_fan.html> for all the details. It seem to do the job for my set up. However, I do like Peter's suggestion for a larger PS fan -- never thought of that. Good luck --glen In a message dated 4/11/02 3:35:19 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Hi-- I see that fans and such have been discussed here before.
