   AT or ATX? I have some empty second-hand AT towers sitting here, and know
where I can get new ones locally (North Acton/Park Royal). Make sure that
you have the correct SCSI cable and terminator for the SCSI type. You may
need spacers for fitting small drives into large slots, extra cooling, and a
large PSU with extra power connectors. Beware of additional power lead
splitters which can fail and cause loss of data.
