You can dust off an old K6-2 500MHz and put it on a motherboard with
ATA-66 IDE, or better yet stick a raid card in there. Drop four hard
drives each with 250GB for a TB of storage. Put a GB enet card in.
Don't even need it really, 10/100 would be fine. leave the machine
always on and mount those babies.
Man sometimes I wish I had a basement. My k6-2 500 hasn't been used in
over a year now.
