Aaron, you're at the top of my list to have over to play with the toys!
I just installed the first 18G hard drive and I need to install 2 more
which means reinstalling the main system disk. This box ships with only
a 4G drive.  I'm thinking my way through some admin issues on the setup
and will hopefully have it ready to play with in December. I also have a
pair of Origin 200 dual 270MHz (with Craylink, but only 1/2 G ram each)
to add to the mix.

I love toys!
