Also i've done something that. I use a : - jetway motherboard J7F4K1G5D (1500 mhz, dual gigabit lan, dual sata channel, low consumption); - ram 1gb; - disk on module 1gb (for the OS - debian etch + backuppc); - controller sata with 4 additional sata port; - 4 hd barracuda 500gb sata2 (raid1, for backup data); It Works like a charm. I choose to use also a low noise psu + thermaltake case, but those are clearly not important. Without case and psu, the total price was very low (the 500 gb sata hd were in special sale :-D). The dual gigabit lan is very useful. Hope this experience helps you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
