I don't have much SNAP knowledge, but I greatly admire what you did to that backplane! The idea (exactly as you did it) has crossed my mind but I thought it would be a big unsucessful mess. I've dealt with my share of old P3/P4 servers and that is a GREAT way to save money and take advantage of what's infront of you. I mean, it's pretty "ghetto" on some levels but seems fine for a home server. I may have to pick up another bulky P3 box and try this out when I decide I need a home server again
