It would also be great if this could be used at piclab as Lee suggested since that would save me 30 bucks in shipping (Lee and I live about 30 minutes from each other)...
Alas, /I/ live in Sacramento, but Piclab is a rackmount in San Antonio, TX. Pretty much all ISPs are just rack farms these days; an actual PC is not something they can easily accommodate. But I do have broadband and lots of disk space at home, so I might be able to mirror some backup there, but my home machines won't work as servers.
I'm sure we'll come up with a system that works, though.
