Ah ha!  The Indy has room for two hard drives, yay!

Additionally, my Matrox G400MAX supports sync-on-green,
so I'm set as far as that goes, too.  Coo!

So yes, I'm still down for 2.  (And one of my coworkers for
1, so that's 3)

I'm not 100% sure you could do that - I think an Indy only has room for
ONE HDD, so you'd need to get an external case. You might want to make
sure.

I have actually been trying to get a Sun GDM16 fixed-freq running with
Linux, and it IS a problem. Your graphics adapter needs to support that
specific rate, and might need to be able to sync-on-green. 

Nick, do you still want to be down for 2?
