The hard drive will work fine that way! For a good 6 or 8 months or so, I was running my G5 off a crappy 60gb IDE drive. It was slow, and it sucked.. but it worked fine.
I wonder how you crammed that in there! I couldn't fit both the hard drive and optical drive, so I just took out the optical drive.
Sweet! I have a 160gb IDE laying around that I could easily bung in there. Nice job!
Sure but why?

Just as a storage drive, maybe for the iTunes library & other random stuff. The more space the better! I really couldn't care less about speed if it's not going to be used for anything intense. Heck I was using a 40gb ATA/66 drive in my eMac for everything back last year.
