Hi, I am going to buy one and thought I'd see what kind of drives y'all use and why.

    Maxtor. It hasn't crashed yet... Like my )*#@%&)@#*%&ing IBM Deathstar!! Bought from EVIL MadLogix! NEVER buy MadLogix EVER! Just read their warranty. I think I inspired it with my frothing phone calls. Bye 45 gigs of data + $400.



    Question: I took my case apart, unplugged the fan, and put the power supply board just outside the case, right beside it. If I rest this sprawling contraption on a piece of metal, will it still work or is it going to melt!? :eek: The Maxtor drive has its own fan I noticed, and the case fan doesn't blow over the bridge chip. Still, will the bridge chip, drive, or power supply melt? It's a Mercury case from OWC.
