Found some wheeled open filing cabinets at Elements in Roseville yesterday. I've been looking for something that I could slide under the shelves in my office. They're white and boring, but the exciting part is they're marked down to $14.95. I bought three, and moved a bunch of the MNSTF filing stuff into the one I got together yesterday, well almost got together. I need to bring in the half-inch drill to tighten the screws up a bit. I need to move a shelf and put the other two together tonight. And label the folders...

I put the other two together this morning, except the screws are really loose. Still need to drag up the big drill and crank them down.

The hard drive hunt continues. Hmm, Ubid.com has up to the Maxtor 60 gig, which they're willing to sell outright around $61.

If I am doing my math right,

4 X 60 = 240 * 2/3 = 160.  4 X $61 = $244 / 160 = $1.52

4 X 80 = 320 X 2/3 = 213.  4 X $118 = $472 / 213 = $2.22

I think you "lose" 1/3 of the space in a Cat 5 RAID. Hmm, makes those 60 gig drives look very attractive...
