[QUOTE="mac57, post: 338333, member: 17052"] DannyBoy, one other thing. cazabam has a good point. No well behaved G5 tower should be getting hot enough to kill hard drives. Please open your case and pull the fans out and examine them - they slide out very easily. Make sure they aren't gummed up with dust etc. Perhaps your existing cooling just isn't working the way it is intended. This may help. Also, if you don't already have it, go out and get the iStat Pro widget ([url]http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html)[/url]. This will monitor and display the temperature at various points inside your Mac. You could post back the results, and then others with your same model of G5 tower could compare values. If yours was notably hotter, you would know you have an issue. BTW, what are the details of your G5? You don't say. [/QUOTE]
