Seth, I apologize if I came off angry. Did not mean to.
Where SCSI shines is in durability and speed. IDE has pretty good speed, but nowhere near that of a 15k rpm ultra3 drive. Also, the mb/sec througput speed is only the theoretical capability of the bus, not the throughput of the drives. Most drives don't do 60 mb/sec anyhow, what's the point of faster bandwidth of SATA? The reason SCSI needs a fast throughput speed is due to the fact that you can daisy chain 14 drives to one cable. Also you can get a 64-bit SCSI controller to give you even more throughput with multiple channels.
SCSI durability rocks. I have an old 10k rpm 18 gig drive that refuses to die and i've gone through 4 ide drives since i've gone SCSI. Although the prices are MUCH higher and it's not for everyone, I like it
Ron, whatever setup you go with, be sure to take pics and let us know what you get so us geeks can get our fix
