Good External Storage Drive

[Boris]

I too have been looking at external storage solutions.

I already have two external drives running in a couple of cheap and nasty enclosures I got from ebay.
Is there any kind of storage solution for multiple drives that aren't ridiculously expensive?

That is a pretty broad statement. I've got Gentoo Linux loaded on this fully functional Power PC (266 Mhz, 128 MB RAM). It is a fully functional PC in a tiny box, with a 500 GB Seagate inside of course!

PS. This box is not for the faint of heart. If you plan to change OS's, you will need a great deal of time getting this thing going - plan on a couple days of screwing around to get it right.

PPS. Some services I am running right now:

PPPS. As you can see, I'm a storage hog:
