WRT the Atto, probably. The disks, not really; I saw the above Seagate
model go for 4 EUR on German ebay a few hours ago. SCA2, though, so you'd
have to throw in an adapter to 68 pin SCSI, and a properly terminated cable.

OTOH, for ide equipped powermacs, you could get an ide-to-cf adapter and a
cf memory card, run the kernel from that, and everything else from a SATA
card. Less noise and power dissipation, and the cf card will last forever
since it is only written to for kernel updates.
