that would definitely make it more interesting but I find myself wanting
one of those 14 drive rackmount storage thingies. I get tired of all the
wires and plugs this stuff needs if you use devices that were not meant to
be used in quantities, not to mention cooling issues and such. A nice box I
could stick off in a closet or under the stairs would be great, address all
the storage needs for the house and keep the area dry and warm. 

What I really want is a cheap PC with 14 hot swap EIDE bays so I can just
plug the biggest cheapest EIDE drives I can find into it. Gotta be cheap
though.
