I should get those components in the post to you later this week Paul, 4GB memory and the HDDs I was planning to send you on.

Just waiting for the 7-pass data wipe to complete on the HDDs... :)

There's a terrabyte's worth there for you (2 x 500GB SATA), provided those two HDDs test okay once the data wipe is done.

Should get a fair few more Daleks on that? He he ;-)

The wipe process itself will hopefully give them a good road test - they've been sitting for a year or so... used them in a RAID1 backup array for a year or so before that. Backups running incrementally via OS X Time Machine... so the I/O mileage shouldn't be too bad, I don't think...

Will do some S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics on them and double check they're okay before I despatch them.

Hopefully get them to you in plenty time to coincide with Glitterati3d's case, mainboard and CPU reaching you...

Please consider my contribution as gift in appreciation of all your existing Daleks :)
