Hisashi,

I am running a 9-gig Seagate drive in a Windows NT box for a video 
encoding system we are putting together. With the case off, it 
runs HOT.  I've had no problems with or without the case on, and 
have talked with some of the local hardware guys who said it should 
be no problem.

On a side note, wish me luck.  I'm going to be installing NetBSD 1.2.1 
on my Mac IIsi for the first time tonight.  If it works, I might 
even try to install it on my IIci at work. 

-Jim
