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?
