    It goes where the floppy drive would go.

    With a bit of modification 3 hard drives can be squeezed in apparently

    You can get 4 HDs in with a bit of modification...

    With two HDs it gets a bit toasty tho.

    Anyone tried a SATA raid card in a shuttle? I've got my PCI slot free and quite fancied a couple of 160gb sata drives.

    Does PCI limit the speed of raid 0 compared to the raid being on the motherboard?
