[Tfug] Inexpensive 1U Server Suggestions

[Harry McGregor]

Hi John,

For really cheap, I would look at this server.  Sownside is only 3.5"
hard disk drive, thus no mirroring if using full size drives.  If you
use Laptop drives, you can put in two of them.  Also I would order the
memory with the system, as it needs low profile ram.

Laptop IDE converter (motherboard has one 44pin and one 40pin connector,
only use the adapter board, not the mounting bracket)
