Use G5 Tower as a Firewire Hard Drive Bay?
I have an old G5 Tower that developed that leaking coolant problem - I stopped using it and it's been sitting around for a while.
Recently, I booted it via Firewire in Target mode and I can access the Hard drive, but after a few minutes the fan kicked in big time.
Anybody know if it is possible to disconnect the fan and just use the Tower and as a big Hard Drive enclosure???
If it is possible then ....
1. How do I disconnect it?
2. Will it over-heat. I was thinking of putting 3 x old hard drives in it?
3. Would it be grossly in-effecient from an energy point of view?
Many thanks
