Hah thanks! They're reliable, sturdy and flexible machines. Only downside really is lack of AGP port but I guess that onboard ATI is AGP

There are 2 fans in that plastic shroud, one blows air directly on the drives. Temps aren't an issue.

Odd request, but do you mind recording the ST32550N starting up and booting up? Thanks I had a pair of them a while ago but sold them on eBay for a decent amount of money. Always meant to record them but forgot.

People on IRC always make fun of my "doorstops." Do what you want to do, don't let others judge you for your hobbies. Unless …

Then I plugged in the SCSI hard drive and installed NT4. It handled the rest. Generally when trying to …
