Well, add another 24Meg of RAM and an Ethernet, and you have a great
web server --- one that will handle a couple of T1's worth of traffic
easily with FreeBSD and Apache.  As others have mentioned however, if
you want to run news on it, switch to SCSI and get as many of the
fastest medium-to-large sized disks as you can afford.
