Interesting The only thing I don't like about my system is not having a removable HDD rack. Messing with them is a pita. My P-160 has 4 "trays". You mount the HDD to the tray sort of like mounting brackets to the sides. (you align the drive holes on the bottom and then screw into the tray - tray has rubber grommets to cut down on vibration issues [as stated before]. Once you do that, you slide in the tray and then attach the cables. I have disliked most other implementations - some are a bother - can't get to the top from inside so you have remove the front panel which is PITA most of the time and slide in. Then you have to fool around to get the screw holes right and then more screws to hold it in place. With the P-160 - the tray slides and clicks in. The HP machine I got uses a similar system though as with most cases, the drives are well above any access to a fan. Fortunately I have two WD Green TBs so they are mostly cool to the touch. It is only the 15K 85GB SCSI that is hot. How are the HDDS placed in the 900? B PS: Very glad they moved to a better cabling system. Had to change a few HDD "80pin" cables in my day - tried flat and round cables - both headaches.
