Grand Prix drives tend to die on a variety of general principles, but
heat stroke is definitely one of them.  Good idea on the fans - if
your case design will accomodate them, they're a worthwhile investment
for pretty much *any* high capacity drive, though I might also note
that the newer Quantum Atlas II drives appear to run considerably
cooler than their predecessors.  I just got one of these drives, and I
can say that I really really like it.
