Don't have a clue why my previous post got down-voted, there was nothing there to disagree with... Not having a go at you by the way Macman45 I actually have a 2.5"-3.5" bay converter that came with my m4, I might use that!

Sweet which OS are you running? Is it showing it's age yet?

Mac OS X Lion running on an external firewire HD, because the HD bracket fell apart when I removed a failed HD, so it is very slow.

Just the bracket? Do you really _need_ a bracket?

I don't get it... What did he do there?

The bracket is needed for the HD to slide into the slot in the battery compartment. And, if the new HD was to fail, I would have to take the mac apart just to remove it.

Ignore the down voting....It's becoming more and more random and there are several threads running about the voting system in the site feedback section. I get down voted all the time and don't even look any more.. Yes, a caddy would be better...Sooner or later that drive is going to fall over!

Yeah, I posted in one of the threads there yesterday, that's what got me thinking about it. And a caddy it'll probably be

Er, I'm not quite sure either.

The bracket is needed for the HD to slide into the slot in the battery compartment. And, if the new HD was to fail, I would have to take the mac apart just to remove it.

Not if you attach a piece of duct tape to the drive so you can pull it out like the caddy originally allowed you do to. Just cut a 3" piece of duct tape, attach the first inch to the top of the drive, and fold the third inch over the second inch so it doesn't stick to anything. Boom, a new tab

Just avoid moving the machine too violently so the drive doesn't get shaken loose.

Great looking set up. I'm with you on the weather. It hasn't stopped raining for days in the Midlands.
Can't wait for my new desk and iMac so I can post here. My current set up is shameful!
