I used mine (650MHz on SE440BX-2/Seattle2 mobo) as a file server.
I could install my three 500GB PATA disks in it, along with a
CD-RW burner with analogue output. The latter was set up so that
when the machine was on, you could insert a particular USB stick
and the CD door would open. Put in an audio CD, close the door,
and it would automatically play it. Pull the stick and it would
open the door.
Sadly, it recently expired. Now I can only get one PATA installed
in a 2006 Dell, and one in a very noisy caddy (its fan hunts).
Cheers,
David.
