Yeah, I just spent over 120 bucks buying a new hard drive and a new case. Here's a little tip for you guys, never buy a case that doesn't give you room to put 80mm fans on the front. After about 6 months, my 80gb hard drive overheated and shat down my throat.
Another thing some of you younger guys might want to know, if you use two or more hard drives, focus your heating on your PRIMARY hard drive. It's the one that has to be read the most, and will be the one that has the highest chance of any sort of death. I've had 4 hard drives fail over the past 6 years, and they never started to suffer until they were moved up to the primary spot. I've already explained the reason why.
Another tip, always use your smaller drives as your OS drive. Don't sit there with a 20 gig storage drive and an 80 gig OS drive...80 gig drives are a little more expensive to replace. I'm currently running and 80 gig OS drive and a 120 gig storage drive. Thats what I'm talking about.

Who knows what it was at when I was playing read intensive games.
