I want to build a super storage cabnet for my pc's to share. I want to put all hard drives in it. What kind of board do I need to build & what componants do I need? I have a variety of hard drives ranging from 2GB up to 80GB there are about 20 of them. Do I need to put proccessors in it or RAM ? Thanks for your help.

For something like that I would suggest buying an external casae for all of them that connects to youe PC via USB since USB can connect up to 127 devices per single connection to the PC. You will need power for all the drives and a PC that can run them and recognize them.

How much money do you want to sink into this? how much storage do you want to end up with? Buying a premade system may be easier/cheaper if you don't know what you are doing.
Plus, the fact that you have varying disk sizes won't help. You can try to concat the drives but a slow drive in the batch can spoil everything :)
