Umm...what 137GB limit?

 From what I've always experienced if it'll fit and you are not  
running the original Linux the only issue is power and heat.

If you are worried about the power supply you can do what I did and  
get a third-party power supply.  IIRC this is the same seller I bought  
mine from:

Hell I'm even considering putting a SATA controller in one of mine and  
running a 1TB drive.  These things make pretty good storage boxes.
