That's probably fine if you have the space, and the fabrication skills to make brackets and such. Remember that the motherboard may be flat, but it won't be anymore once you've put in any interface cards you need. I'd definately use a laptop hard disk, though. They're built to take a certain amount of vibration and banging around, and have good head lock mechanisms. You can get adapters to couple them to regular IDE cables. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
