Bonus in keeping one of the old boxes alive is they still use the old
IDE drives and I've got a nice little stack of them here still large
enough to be usable. They work fine as shared drives for extra backups
etc. Note - it's getting harder to find external IDE enclosures for
3.5" drives most now only 2.5" or SATA instead.

Speaking of over-the-hill IDE hardware, not only do I have a stack of
IDEs from 5, 40, and 80G, I also have removable IDE trays and their docks.

Collections of gangs of USB sticks of various sizes take up a lot less
room :-)




Yep same here...
little by little I'm getting rid of the clutter though
