SA> MH> I've gone through more hardware than I can count.  Mostly hard

SA> MH> I do have a bunch of < 1GB drives floating around here.  They
SA> MH> still  work, although, not sure what I'd ever do with them.

SA> MH> I also had a pair of P233 machines acting as Linux routers.
SA> MH> Both died of motherboard failure....:(  It was sad to see those
SA> MH> go.  Both of those  were replaced with P450's.  One was given to
SA> MH> me, the other was an eBay  special for $40.

SA> MH> I'm currently debating replacing my file server.  Currently it
SA> MH> has a  single 30GB drive in it.  I'd love to throw 3 300GB
SA> MH> drives in it and  RAID them, but I'd have to replace the
SA> MH> motherboard to do it.

SA>     Hardware I've been lucky only a power supply (bbs twice) and
SA>     a floppy drive...and a keyboard is all I've had to replace
SA>     in 20 years or so.

SA>     Course tons of floppies that die.

Most of the stuff the BBS ran on was second hand stuff handed down to me 
as people moved on to bigger and better....
