there are already exist SATA hotswap cages, so hotswapping is not a problem if you are using a hotswap compatible controller. If you are thinking in low budget, i recommend whole spare server :-) if not, try something with spare everything :-) (disk,ps,ram,cpu) -- WoodOO-[P]an[G]alaktikan[A]gent-People <][> http://shadow.pganet.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]@RedHat.users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
