Hey man, be sure and discharge the caps before cracking the PSU open. I'd hate to see the forum loose on of it's more insightful posters.

Looking for 270 or 540MB IDE drives

If it's going to be a router then you'd be wise to get new drives. It's a pain replacing drives even if you are using RAID.

A couple of questions

Assuming the guy actually cares about getting his email, it would be a Bad Idea to run an email server off a dynamic IP. There are plenty of other ISPs which offer statis IPs, switch him to one of those. Then you can start thinking about putting in a server.

And you could at least use a debian compliant qmail :) Lennart Sorensen (Happy exim + mailscanner + spamassassin + Maildir user) -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
