Nice... 10Gb would be awesome! =)

So, any laptop HD should work as long as I have the caddy for it?

I'll see what I can dig up tonight as I'd love to have a bigger HD... =)

Don't let anyone !@#$ you up about bios HD size limits.
A few years ago I had a 760XL with a 10 gig drive.
WIN98SE and Linux (at least RH 7.3 and later) don't
seem to be bothered by bios limits, I was able to use the whole
disk.
Just try to use a HD caddy that is for a 2.1 or larger drive to
avoid jumper issues.

Go Linux!!!,
