Yet another victim.

Well, my computer is in an air conditioned room, with plenty of ventilation.

Time for a discussion on What are the best/worst drives to buy...

The one I just lost (after 6 months) is a Maxtor, the sixth drive I've had in this case.

SJ, you mentioned you have not had to replace the case. You did replace the power supply right? Power supplies are notorious for acting like they are working fine (right voltages etc) all the while cooking off motherBoards and disk drives one after the other.

Yep...
After burning the replacement drive I bought, I had looked into it and found the original PS had started putting 13v on the 12v line.

I bought a fancy enermax power supply right after that, and got two new harddrives, all six months ago.
