Oh, that's good news! Then you can use cheaper and way bigger drives,  
compared to a laptop system. I found some Shuttle barebone systems  
suitable for Pentium M but nothing really rack mountable.

separated so malfunctioning stuff ("oops... where did my beer can  
go...?") can be replaced without sending away the whole system  
(laptop) for repairing.
