I did some searches and found that nothing appeared to be current (that
I could find), and I would prefer something made this century.  I found
a great deal on a box that is pretty beefy and want to utilize it to its
fullest (dual 450  and 2G ram with 2 18G SCSI).  I replace a lot of
components when I do an install, but didn't want to stat off that low.

I was more looking for personal recommendations from experience.

Thanks
