that mashie link might be exactly what i wanted... that mini-itx board w/ 6 SATA. use CF maybe for boot (might need IDE to CF converter) - 5 drive holder (hotswap as a bonus) - you get 4 gig ram, core2-based chip (64-bit), onboard graphics, 5 SATA2 drives... that is cool.
however. would need to hack it up (and I don't have any metal cutting stuff) and who knows how loud it is without any front on those drives. i'd want a small cover on top to help with noise. looks like i might have to hang out over on the mashie site now too ;) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
