One other quick thought on the subject of disk drives...

If you go with a Shuttle - note that it uses SATA (Serial ATA) - so you
need to use newer drives - possibly a disadvantage if you want to reuse
old disk drives. There is 1 IDE interface in the Shuttle that I got
(SK21) - which I used to connect the CD/DVD. I'm almost certain that
the IDE interface supports 2 disk drives - a master and a slave drive.
So you could, in theory, connect a CD/DVD and one old Parallel ATA
drive. Or, if you're a bit nutty like me - I've even been know to do
Linux installs over the net or install the DVD, take it out and put a
hard drive back in to use that IDE channel. Lots of options... ;-)
