Just something to point out: SCSI HDD's aren't designed for home environments, and should not be used in cases where the computer will be switched off at night. Something to do with spin-down and spin-ups (SCSI drives operate at 10kRPM which is faster than the usual 7.2 of an IDE drive, it may have something to do with this, don't quote me on that - all I know is the techy says not to switch the SCSI PCs off, so we don't do it).
