I love random/(dumb) projects and have decided to repurpose my old hp proliant dl360 g3 to be a fully functional desktop. This project has its hurdles though. The machine only has two pci-x slots limiting my expansion/upgrades. I have a small list of enhancements necessary to have a full functional desktop.
Video card (the ati rage won't cut it)
Sound
Hard disk space (i don't want to spend $400 on SCSI disks and only get 300GB)
Reduced space
Quieter fans
The last two are easy enough. The first three are the kicker. I want to put an SATA RAID card in one slot leaving me only one slot open. I would rather not have to choose between video or sound. I want both. Any ideas on a possible solution?
