I just got a basically bare 7300 with motherboard, power supply and 
floppy drive and had the remaining items sitting around over the 
years. The 4 gig seagate had been sitting around for over 2 years and 
it also made those clicking noises but as time passed, the noise just 
stopped. I always found seagates to be pretty noisy anyway. Some more 
so than others.
