I just had an idea on how to maximize space on a server i'm looking to build. I'm planning on purchasing a Precision T7400 and put a memory card reader in it, and i'm wondering; would i be able to install the operating system onto a compactflash memory card which will be plugged in at all times? Instead of installing a dedicated hard drive, that way I can leave 4 slots up for data drives in the tower. Would this be possible?
