"Servers" Not Just For Large Installations
Fred: re: building a terabyte server ( http://www.informationweek.com/showArticle.jhtml;?articleID=183702383 )--- It should be pointed out though that this is the perfect opportunity for re-purposing an older PC (even a VERY old one), thus saving the cost of the case, power supply, motherboard, cpu and even the operating system; the only real cost being the hard drives.
As for use in the home: these days, storing music, movies, home video and photographs eats up HD space like crazy. better yet, the ability to stream or access content over a home Lan to PC's or even TVs and audio systems makes a home server more valuable. Thanks for all of your efforts and the great newsletter. ---

Indeed, many people still think "office" when they hear "server," but a simple server can be an asset almost anywhere. Using an older PC as a file, print or internet access server is a *great* way to eke more life from older gear while delivering real benefits--- extra security,. speed, convenience...--- as well!
