Hi,
I am not sure what they are called? (storage servers, hdd servers, etc? Please correct me if I am wrong)
What I am trying to do is purchase (where?) a cheap pc tower like case that is designed to *only* hold hard drives (HDDs). It would seem logical (and easier) to just put all my hard drives into a single tower and then connect that to a computer. Is this even possible? What type of cables or connectors would I need? Where might I begin to look?

You would have to run a the HD server as an actual server (so you'd have to have a drive for the installed OS most likely Linux in this case) you'd need enough channels for all the drives and you'd have to have a machine that was thin client capable (or just a standard pc with some kind of flash storage), the actual setup is beyond the scope of this site.

Servers are designed to run with out pics, they're purely organic and organic processing means, and are designed to sit down down on a community and shelter those purposes, and additionally hand out archives to inquiring for purchasers. additionally, you will now no longer get any means for 60 money. you want a private workstation to do any surely artwork.

set up the hardware as you want then install XP and connect to the network and offer to share the drives accross the network - people will be able to see the drives in their network neighbourhood
