Foolishness said:4) I can understand the Elegance involved in using the Apple disc drive holders, but there seems to be a lot of activity in the various versions of http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-Multi-Bay ... +drive+bay and it looks like it would be fairly trivial to hang that inside, and then you could put a bunch of disk space inside without having to wait for thunderbolt. And changing OSes would be trivial. (I'm kind of curious about that Mac-Ubuntu I read about last night.)
And here it is. 6 inches long so they can be put inside the MacPro case facing towards the side that comes off. I suspect you can put a lot of them in there. http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-Multi-Fun ... =KF-253-BK
Here's the unit for four 2.5 inch drives. http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-2-5-Inch- ... 89&sr=1-54

Yes. I used to have a nine PC Linux cluster, but we never could figure out what it was good for other than bragging about it. It was made of all the obsolete Pcs we had lying around and they are still here even though we disconnected it long ago. Some of the parts are so old they were on eight-bit machines. (That is probably an exaggeration, Though I do have an eight bit machine that we made to control about six 35mm Slide Projectors.)gus said:I don't understand. Do you mean just build a pc from all the parts you currently have?
