Hi Alistair,

So how soon can we scrounge up enough parts to build a new machine?  I
tried two of the old PIII systems from 1725 and encountered multiple
dead drives and either a dead MB or power supply.  Then the P4 parts
that Chris gave us (Matt of TS assembled them) wouldn't even POST.  Its
not encouraging.

And as Greg pointed out: isn't it moronic to even try to assemble one of
our more important servers from a bunch of old, dodgy crap?
