That's good enough for my needs.

Forgot to mention I already have the 6 drive backplane, I just need to 
assemble a box to hold it and the disks.  I've been looking for a local 
source of some wood nicer than pine or MDF to use but haven't had much 
luck.  Lego is an option but probably far too expensive, and it's tough to 
find large amounts second-hand around here.

Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about provantage.com 
?  They've got O2 RAM at $140 for 256Mb which seems reasonable and they 
ship international.

cheers,

Rob.
