Wanted to pass on my experience with my Snap 1000. It was one of the 'originals', a 1000 I guess. two 8.5 Gig IBM hard drives. Following the advice on this thread, I installed 2 160 gig drives. The machine booted fine and formated the new drives. Problems: the snap server only sees them as 130gig drives. Also, I turned on mirroring at approx. 10PM last night and this morning at 9am (11 hours) it is 12% complete.
Also tried to buy some of these on Ebay but I guess word is out on such an easy hack that the prices are very over inflated so buying used ones really isnt too bright, especially since there is a device called reByte (found it while searching for the snap server hack) for only $150. Also, it is so easy to build your own with a pentium/pentiumII/AMD and FreeBSD or Linux. But the snap has the appeal of being quite and small in size. But anyone that happens to have a snap laying around can give it new life.
