I run 10,000 rpm Seagate Cheetah 36 GB drives in the "penthouse" without problems. I use 68 pin drives ... not 80 pin converted drives. Cables are short to the "penthouse" and there are no cooling problems. The "penthouse" was designed with 9 GB 68 pin drives in mind. I have had significant problems with 18 GB WD 68 pin drives there, which prompted my change to 36 GB Seagates. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
