[ale] Ale Digest, Vol 6, Issue 80

[Jeff Lightner]

I'll admit my main reason for saying it was a POS was the size and type
of drive specified (not to mention the missing cover).

Since there was no price in the post it meant you had to follow the link
to find out more details.  It certainly smelled like spam to me.

Likewise - I wouldn't consider this spam ... not in the market for
servers atm, but they're still a decent deal.
