Yes. But I'd assume you are doing this for performance. If so go out and buy a decent SCSI card (eg a buslogic 958) and a pair of passable SCSI disks. Get yourself a decent DMA driven network card (Tulip or Lance based that means for most cases). Add plenty of memory. Add CPU
In order of importance
Fast IO controller Decent motherboard with good memory bandwidth Plenty of RAM Decent network card Processor
