FYI:

replaced the original 20GB with a Seagate Barracuda 80GB, 7200RPM, 8MB 
Cache in a stock Cube (no fan, etc.) with no apparent problems and no 
heat issues ("chimney" slightly warmer than before, but still only 
"luke!")

This was against the "genius" advice at the local Apple store whose 
specs said the max should be 60GB, 7200... Speed difference is quite 
noticeable!!

CompUSA had them for $105 less a $50 mail-in (arrgghhh!) rebate, but 
still not a bad deal!!
