I hate taking this conversation in a totally different direction, but
my interest has been piqued, and I can lurk no longer: does anyone
know of a good, easily-available, and preferably cheap solution that
would allow me to use a CF card as a hard drive, mounted in a 3.5"
internal bay? I'm going to be converting my Shuttle into a file
server, and I'd also prefer to not use a hard drive internally -
they're unreliable and they generate unwanted heat.
