[admin] 2.5" hard disk

[steve ravet]

The machine is an alpha, and I don't know why the case only accepts
2.5".  I doubt it's a PC form factor, so a different case probably won't
help.  2.5" drives are in the "couple hunnerd bucks" range, though, so
even if we have to buy one it won't be a big deal.
