Not having a sled won't harm the drive unless you move the computer without care. I also doubt that it is actually sitting on the controller card. There should be about 1/16-1/8 in space between the components and the surface that the drive is sitting on. BUT, it would be advisable to put it on a sled..... ;-) Yes, the drive will get get warm or possibly hot. Here are a couple of harddrive cooling fans: http://www.pcliquidator.com/detailproduct.asp?which=1141 http://www.pcliquidator.com/detailproduct.asp?which=1142 -- Fred.... mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
