If I use a mother board that has Ultra2 scsi and 10/100 all on board I
don't need anything else, theese are servers, I don't need sound cards,
framebuffers, or anything else, just space for two 4 Gig disks

The units that mention 5 slot passive backplanes... can I still put an ATX
formfactor motherboard in the bottom?
