You mention Mini-ITX cases, have you looked into the latest motherboards? These Nehemiah boards have an encryption chip built in that might be helpful.

Do you (or anyone else reading this) know anything about ADSL WIFI routers?
I am interested in connecting 4 pcs up, 1 desktop by cable and the other 3 by WIFI. I already have a netgear pcmcia card for the laptop and a netgear card in the back of one of the pc's (both 54Mbps) but I have read a lot of critiscism of netgear recently and am not sure which router to get.
Yes I understand that the hardware is all BT, I just wanted to find out if I can keep my BT phone account rather than have to transfer to another 'provider'.
Thanks for the answer though, I thought as much.
If cost is a real deciding factor, then (depending on the size of the files you need to backup) thumbdrives can be expensive. Reliability is a problem too as these little thumbdrives can get damaged/lost or stolen quite easily, however the chance that a thumb drive will fail at the same time your system fails will be fairly low.
The Email option is a good standby and can be relatively cheap (some one on this thread offered you a GMAIL invite, there's 1GB of online storage for nothing), also Yahoo offers a 2GB account including disposable email addresses and 20MB emails for only £12 a year.
You asked about reliability and wanted low cost, I would suggest that if you use a thumb drive it should not be trusted as a sole backup system and you should definitely use the free/cheap email storage option as well.
If you have or can afford a CD/DVD writer, use the backup software provided regularly (once a week for data perhaps) and keep regular off site backups (at the office or at a friend's or relative's house). As with any backup software do a 'confidence' test, backup your data, delete a (created for the test) file and restore it from the backup. If you are setting up a machine from scratch (or are prepared to) then you should do a system restore confidence test too, this way when the inevitable happens you will at least know how the restore works.
If you don't have a Gmail account Yahoo offers a 2GB No Adverts email account for £12 a year.
So far I have only used 2% of mine and am currently storing my main documents and some utility software/soure code. The limit on attachements on each email is 20MB.
As far as spam is concerned I probably average less than one a week arriving in my inbox as there is a 'bulk' folder for anything yahoo thinks might be spam. They have disposable email addresses too.
Data warehousing usually refers to creating reporting databases.
Most corporate MIS level reporting doesn't need to show todays data so a de-normalised database is created overnight from their live databases. This database consists of a number of 'data marts' (heavily indexed tables or groups of tables) that reflect different reporting views.
The end result is speedy reporting with no impact on the live database.
The conference features over 65 sessions about topics as diverse as the Apache httpd web server (which drives over 67% of all web sites on the Internet including Slashdot)...
Yes but as we all know 99% of all websites (excluding slashdot - a reference to DOS I think) are rubbish. IIS only runs the good 1% of web sites.
Had the U.S. stayed at home and not tamper with everybody else's business without consulting international partners and organizations, you'd have one or two problems less
This ignores the context of the last half a century or so, specifically the second world war and the cold war.
Presumably he had to make sure she wasn't about to detonate a bomb.
If the palestinians would stop hiding behind their exploding children he wouldn't have had to finish her off.
It's been able to write to NTFS for a while and I have seen the tabs for external drive support but I don't use external drives, so presumably that's been added and works (I am an optomist).
Quirky? How? I have been using it for a few years now and have had no quirks!
Unlike Acronis, Ghost does reboot into dos if you want to back up the system drive but I wouldn't call that quirky, just cautious.

Ghost is excellent for full image backups, I use it to backup to a spare hard disk and dvd and the images are browsable if you need to restore individual files. If you have a network or just a pc and a laptop you can easily backup over the network to any pc.
I back up my system and data partitions only, I keep all my mp3's and images on a third partition and archive those seperately.
Apart from that I have a 1gig thumb drive that I regularly copy my main documents to.
As any fool know, windows is much cheaper than that awful swedish DOS imitator.
why?
Because everyone knows how to use Windows to do all sorts of useful things straight off the bat.
With Linux, after buying text books or paying for a course and maybe replacing some hardware you can finally get some use out of it if all you want to do is run a web server.

for £12 a year you can get yahoo mail plus, this has 2GB and disposable email addresses.
Thanks, that's cleared a few things up for me.

Does anyone happen to know if you get Demon or any non BT ADSL can you keep the BT line?

Not doubting your word but could you name some of these pseudo-scientists that are working out of their domain and in the pay of big polluters?
I don't have time to discuss the quirkiness of Ghost.
Ah, one of those mysteriously undiscussable quirkinesses that usually turn out to be non existant quirkiness that boils down to user quirkiness.
Last time I checked, Ghost was VERY quirky.
