Or you could do what I did -- slice a slot in the side of the case and pass through the SCSI and power leads, the drive just sits on the table. =D Ugly, of course, but it works. I've got a pair of 15150Ns here and I had one in (or at least hooked up to =P) my LC475; yes, they're way too tall to fit in and would probably overheat the comp. I've warmed (hah) to the 15150s. I actually can't sleep properly if they're not spinning. =O -- Dom Tetreault [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different� -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
