Sounds kinda risky and definately frustration causing on your reader's side of the request :) But if it works, that will certainly be interesting. Anxious to follow this one and see how it turns out.

This way it will still be operational, but not as noisy. As far as web services, the most popular pages should be cached (hopefully in RAM). Other pages would have to be loaded after the hard drive spun up. My thoughts are that this will not be acceptable performance, but I need to do some real world testing. The box does feel faster than my other servers, but that drive is just too noisy (I need to try it stuffed under the desk where the others are to be sure). I really like using older laptops as my servers, they are small, and they have built-in monitor, keyboard, mouse, and battery backup.
