Yep, I am using a Micropolis 80 meg drive (1024 cylinders, 8 heads) full height. I waffle between running it external in a cabinet to internal with the top cover resting on it. It is a FAST drive (~35 ms) and can run notesfiles, and a full news feed on it with enough space left over to get lost. Too bad it is really only a single user machine. Also, with the 3.0 upgrade to UNIX, the windows and other stuff are FAST! -- .. that's the biz, sweetheart...
