Here in Akihabara there are so many IDE choices, but almost no SCSI ones. I want to use the machine for news and mail. Should I spend MUCH more on a SCSI machine or make one myself, or are people successfully installing and using machines with IDE hard drives and CD-ROMS? Should I use my current SCSI machine for news and mail and just use the IDE machine for DNS and password verification? Any quick advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Doug Lerner, Tokyo
