Proliant BL460C - Can I use a regular hard drive?

[rrdein]

I want to buy one of these servers because they are affordable, but most of the ones I'm looking at have 2x 72GB SAS drives in them which is not enough for my needs.  Can anyone tell me if there is any way to use a regular 2.5" (or 3.5" if it's an option, don't think so) hard drive in one of these servers?  If not, what is my cheapest option for increasing the storage?

Are you wanting a standalone server?  The BL460c is a blade server and requires a C7000 chassis for I/O connectivity. The chassis will hold 16 BL460c blades

Thanks for saving me a bunch of trouble.  =)
