I just owned a used iBook G4 for my PPC emulation project. But after some compiling, I can feel that the left palm is hot!
I haven't opened the case. But it seems that hard drive is the culprit:

The previous owner upgrade IDE hard drive to 120GB and memory to 1.5GB.
Should I buy a mSATA SSD to replace the spinning disk? In fact, I'm quite happy with the current hard drive speed. But I just want to make sure with rest of the owners to confirm that it is hard drive causing heat issues.
TIA
