Its in there yes, but there is no "electronics" in the cage other than the bldc commutation stuff in the fan motor. Each pocket has its own sata cable socket, connected to the corresponding sata socket on the motherboard. All individually connect and mounted in /etc/fstab. > I BET you have raid. Pay up Ric!

No wonder they were hesitant to sell me that "student" special when I went to buy the 2nd one 4 months later. They actually had to, because the 250Gb drives were gone, to put a 2Tb drive in that machine in order to ship the full kit! And despite running the exact same installs, the lathe gives me a login for an ssh -Y session at least 5x faster than on the original. They are both ARK shoeboxes with an Intel D525MW atom based motherboard, a gig of ram, r-w optical drive. $265 with a throwaway keyboard, matching mouse, both wired, and mouse pad + a boom mic & headset, sitting on my front deck after the brown truck was gone. > -- > My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: > "There are two Great Sins in the world... > ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity. > Only the former may be overcome."
