I'll look at it. It seems as if Hardcoremac doesn't accept international
credit cards like my visa and that it will be rather expensive to send it as
they only use UPS.

I think you are right, at least that was what I could see on Hardcoremac's
site.

I have that the double tray fits in both places - but also that if it is put
in the leftmost place, there's only room for one harddisk. Unless a flat one
can be found.

I do intend to purchase an ATA-133 controller. BTW, a 160 G harddisk only
contains 149 G {160,000,000,000/2^30} so it will only give 21 extra G. But
of course much more if larger harddisks are chosen.

Not yet - and "maxing out RAM" isn't something fixed either. I guess that it
is possible to-day to get {expensive} 2G RAM blocks which will give 6 G but
to-day there's only the original 128 M + one block of 512 M Kingston RAM.
