I've been looking at two systems on your store, the bargain Fanless Mini-ITX BareBones Computer and the Nano-ITX Computer The Damn Small Machine!. I noticed that both of them have IDE connectors on them. I can't seem to find a space for a hard drive. Do any of these systems have a space for a hard drive? I really like to get one of these for a project that I'm working on. I will not be installing DSL on them cause I need functionality that DSL doesn't provide and I also need large amount of hard drive space. Any help would be appreciated.

a lot of people use a flash card with an ide adapter on these machines. rumor control sez flash cards will go up to 2 gig this year, so that could be an  option. for the hd space just get a external drive with a 1394 interface. i've seen 160 gb external drives for less than $100.

Those large CF cards and microdrives are expensive. By contrast I bought a 512MB one for $20. I can put DSL and all the apps I want on it (that's not very many, but I have space left over.)
