Extended ATX.
Case formfactor is like tower, pedestal, 1U, 2U, ...
Extended ATX is a motherboard form factor.
you're going to need new motherboard, new ram, new CPUs... you really
should be looking for new SERVER. your existing 5+ year old 10 ATA
drives are likely only a few 100GB or so total, organized as at least 3
seperate raids ? (raids can't span controllers).
2 mirrored SATA drives at ~ $120 or so each for 1TB (1000GB) would way
surpass what you likely have now, and be way faster.
a modern low end 2U SATA server holds 6 or 8 of these in hotswap bays,
for $2000 or so fully configured wiith a pair of drives, and a low end
dualcore CPU (which will be 10x faster than your 5 year old P3's), AND
it will have a 2-3 year warranty if its from a major vendor.
