My 45G drive now sits on a shelf... I couldn't take the chance of it 
blowing.  As I posted earlier to the list, replacing it with an 80G 
Maxtor 5400 RPM didn't hurt performance all that much, and the system 
runs cooler now. (Even now with dual G4/500's, my mac runs cooler than 
it did with a single CPU and the 7200 RPM IBM drive.  That puppy ran 
*hot*!)
