I've not ran that model, but I thought I'd point out that you can get some fairly good cooling systems that fit in your 5 1/4 bays. Place the hard drive right below (or if you opt for that model,) inside and it'll help keep such problems from happening. You'll also want to make sure you have a fan in the front of the case. $50 worth of fans will save you lots of heartbreak and trouble, especially with SCSI :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
