Yeah, I'm about 95% sure it's the hard drive.  I shuffled things around 
this morning a bit to give that drive more breathing room (glad I got a 
full tower case :)   It's been behaving since then -- if it doesn't crash 
in the next 12 hours or so, then I'm going to run under the assumption 
that it was a heat problem.  Otherwise I'll swap it out for a fresh 
drive.  I'll be calling Seagate this afternoon anyway to see what they 
can tell me about this sorta stuff.

Yeah, it's looking that way.  Thanks for your time,
