Okay, sounds like rough consensus to me.  I've got plenty of money
in the tip jar but wanted to get feedback before I ordered anything.
I'll order two drives and I'm thinking of adding another 500MB of
memory (for an additional $60) to max out the memory of the server.
I just didn't want to do it unilaterally, but it sounds like we
have a consensus.  Let me know if you have objections to the RAM
purchase as well.

Thanks,
