Re: Hard Drives for 40 meg vulcan

["Greg Andrzejewski" <pressyourluck85@yahoo.com>]

A little more trimming of the case and everything fits now. In fact, it was 
the area around the power supply that prevented me from securing the siding. 
I thought it was the hard drive pushing against the keyboard, but it just 
barely fits. I may try some of the bigger hard drives, just to see what 
happens, but I'm not expecting much.
