Thanks for the homework with NewEgg; I don't mind buying stuff from them as long as it isn't HDDs. They can't pack worth a crap; it's Received Wisdom on the MythTV mailing list that you *never* buy drives from them, if you want them to last more than a year. My endgame is to replace the entire backend with an HP DL180g6, which has 12 SAS/SATA tray slots on the front, and proper cooling. But that, too, is down the road a bit. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
