HA could also mean hardware redundancy.
Most homebuilt computers now have motherboards that supports
built in RAID-5 support. It's an easy way to provide not just
database HA, but system stability as well.
Just string a couple of SATA-II drives together and activate
RAID support on a motherboard like LanParty from DFI.
RAID-5 is more robust and has higher survival rate in case of
hard-drive failures.
