If you want to mount the HD vertical in a mac mini, then just put the case on its side!

But really, it doesn't matter. I applaud you for reading and getting that vertical idea, but really, the consensus of the vertical/horizontal and what kind of mounts to use was that there is no consensus. Basically everything works. And the g's required to destroy a HD, will destroy you in the process, so no worries. I am using a 3.5" drive, and no problems. I do things on the cheap though.

If you have enough money for a core 2 duo, then just get a big big laptop drive. Laptop drives care even less.

Good to know about the HD positioning! I've been reading for months now but it takes a lot of patience to sort thru what is hype/crap/opinion/and truth!!!! And fortunatley I do have the cash ...at least right now!

I may just do the laptop thing. Can you get just the laptop drive.....or did you mean a complete laptop????
