Okay, so you use not-so-old parts together with the old parts. Sounds
reasonable. With enough oldish 80 GB-harddrives, software-raid, and given the
chassis-space, I guess one could build a pretty impressive backup-server with
BPC.
BPC can handle USB(-connected) drives as well then? That opens up for some
emergency solutions actually.
