I am now the owner of a second Sun 711 multipack (6-slot UltraSCSI JBOD disk array) and four spare 336MHz UltraSparc-II processors for my Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000, for the princely sum of $40 shipped ... and $8 of that was PayPal's money.  As soon as I execute my plan to get both 711s inexpensively populated with 36GB disks, we'll have 396GB of RAID5 online on my NFS/Samba server, which should more than satisfy our network-attached-storage needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.

We use VirtualCD 7. There are a relatively small number of games this doesn't fool, but those are generally not the kids' games, and there are generally no-CD hacks available for them, which frankly I have not the least compunction about using. You want to make sure I bought the game and own the physical CD? Fine, look, here's the physical CD I bought. You want me to have that physical CD subject to wear and tear so that I have to buy a new copy when, not if, it inevitably gets damaged or scratched? Shove it up your nose sideways.
