Okay. Obvious question here but couldn't you just move the drives over instead?

I believe he also wants the display board assembly from the 2A because it's got the newer type of rotary encoder.

What you want to do, Loren, is do-able I think. The display boards are meant to be interchangeable. My only problem is... I don't think the extra RAM is going to make a difference in the temperature. There's not going to be a huge difference in spin-up times. It will only be slight, not enough to make a thermal difference.

I think it might be time for the big step. Go see if WeirdStuff still has that big styrofoam crate full of tiny fans.
