Again, thanks everyone.

I tried to connect to my bank online but like all NZ banks, they have made some terrible investments lately and to cut costs must have reverted to a 3GB monthly plan with Xtra. Ultimately, they have exceeded their cap and I can't connect.

Therefore, I send forthwith, a cheque payable to Mr SpankMe for 5c. Sorry about the 25c cheque fee.

I know you specified SATA - but I have a couple of 160GB IDE drives sitting here holding down papers if they can be of any use to you or MT...

How much money do you still need, to make this happen?

[SpankMe]

I have everything I need. Thanks everyone for your help

Well i have chucked some in to (didnt read till the end of the thread lol)

[maxworldbiker]

Its ok, McD. I did too, even after I knew Spanks had enough for the server thingy. As he points out, there are on-going costs with running an active website, so I reckon slinging a bit of money in the direction of the upkeep, from time to time, can only help preserve the resource used by a great many people. If more users do it there might be a wee cushion-pot available to make server meltdowns and suchlike less of a challenge to fix when they happen.
