The case...you may have an issue with heat if its a common case from the era of 200-230 watt power supplies.

Cases are cheap enough where investing in a new case will be worth it. You don't need anything fancy...just something that can handle heat dissipation from modern components.

Size and # of 100db fans doesn't matter. Proper airflow does.

I said that back in post #17. Try to keep up, would you?

Damnit.

At the time I was making a lame ass attempt to find welfare statistics so I was skimming.

This is what I get for trying to help YOU out...

DAMNIT!!

And WHO was it, who asked for those welfare stats?

It's a specific series and not all of them in the series; 7200.11 of 500GB and over. I've got two of them in one of my NAS boxes with the new firmware and they're fine. Sometimes mechanical devices fail.
