120GB is the available size that fall below the 137GB barrier; that's the size others have reported using to good effect.

I saw a post somewhere recommending replacement of the cheap CPU fan in the 2000 with a better unit; I managed to track down links to buy the one recommended by the poster. It's inexpensive and has a 5V dual-ball bearing fan.

GlobalWin FAC08

My fan was making noise when I got it, but I lubed it and it has since been happy; still, I think I'll go for the GlobalWin heatsink/fan when I upgrade the drives in case they aren't as cool running as I hope.

Hope that helps,
