well that was the plan anyways, but due to various configuration problems with Server 2008 and the different versions of windows that I have on each machine, and the fact that my even older popcorn hour wont recognise it on the network without serious prodding and then forgets it ever saw it an hour later, and the security bottlenecks it causes when accessing it from within the network (never mind from outside the network) and.... you get the idea
I'm considering a NAS or just another, newer faster HP microserver but with FreeNAS or some other simplified setup. I only put 2008 on there to learn Active Directory anyways really.
