If this system is stable enough under OS X, why not scrounge around for another 3 or 4 external SCSI drives?

I'm still clinging to OS 9.2.2 on the G3, and 7.6 / 7.5.3 on my 1400c. Color me old fashioned. :chuckles:
Once again, nice work.
1400c?!!!!!! Man, that's my least favorite of all Macs, but for some reason it's a collector's item in Japan. I carried one of those around for a year, and might have got 20 minutes worth of actual use from it. Not because it was broken or anything, but because it took it almost 11 months to finish booting (not really).
ATA-133 seems to be the best storage option. I've had tons of SCSI devices, and the big drives are still really expensive. I got the 250GB Maxtor drive from CompUSA for $120. I couldn't pass it up. I just can't hold but one more of them in this case (2 drives max). That's the biggest problem.
All the awards that Apple had won for case design should have been taken away after they built the 8100, 8500 and 9500's. Those cases are teh suck.
