Nah, I definitely get that kind of thing. It would be fun. There is that cost/space issue though. Also, I can't afford for my network to not work because I'm too dense to set it up properly. It's the same reason I'll never replace my own clutch: yes, I could probably do it, but the time/cost/risk are just way too high for something I depend on.

Oh, almost a  PDP-11! 

Looks excellent. That red card on the right is a disk controller?
