Ahoy, I'm thinking of buying an old tower system for a number of uses, mainly as a file server, streaming server (connected to my 360), additional rendering resources for small video projects (don't need anything particularly powerful for this), and general small network management.
I have my eye on a dual 450mhz machine with 1.5gb of RAM. It has a pretty teeny HD though. Hence my first question:
Will http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-ATA133 work in providing me with more IDE slots, and allow me to use HDs larger than 128gb?
Second; how many HDs could I fit in there, along with the supplied DVD drive?
And thirdly; would http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-320XR1 work? I'd like to be able to have it on two networks at once.
Any help is much appreciated.
