    I added a WD 320GB Scorpio HD and put in a 2.16 GHz Core 2 duo with 4mb L2cache. This thing flies and even though the 320GB drive is 5400 RPM its actually faster then a desktop 7200 rpm drive. The only issue I have is that the drive will make a click every 30 seconds or so. It doesn’t seem to affect the performance of the drive but it dose get annoying. Dose anyone know what this click might be?

    Nice upgrade!

    Normally clicking noises from hard drives is never a good thing. Try googling your problem and see if it is normal. If not, get a replacement drive asap.
