Hi gigy,

you doing great. wanted to ask something.

how are you going to mount the HDD? just a shock can damage the drive.

and i have a suggestion too. don't know if it works.

get hold of an old car cd player or a cd changer. they have the rubber damper things. if you can somehow mount the drive on those dampers, i think there will be less chances of drive failure.

if you cant get it, let me know. i have an OE ford HU which has the dampers. i can send it to you.

if you want a picture, let me know.

one more thing. static current can damage a motherboard. i hope you have taken care of that. :-)

cheers
