We're about to put in two more. My understanding is that they run a little cooler than the Barracudas, and my personal experience (unfortunately) is that they can deal with heat rather well. (Example, I had two of them stacked in a mini-tower case for 3 weeks w/o a problem). However, I strongly suggest cooling them well if you plan on making them last. Lastly, don't confuse them with the Grand Prix series. You'll hear a lot of bad things about the Grand Prix's because a they had a run of them with bad bearings early on. We've got one of the 4gb ones, and they run much hotter than the 2gb Atlas's we have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clayton O'Neill Business--> Premier One Inc whatever@oneill.net clayton@premier.net http://www.oneill.net <--Personal http://www.premier.net
