They really do. We got one of those a few months ago (it was $299 then) at it works just fine. It's a bit loud, but tolerable. It doesn't even run that hot, but I do have an extra cooling fan on it just in case. Supposedly, the trouble with the DFRS drive is every 72 hours it shuts down for a few seconds and then restarts. Now, I've never witnessed this while FreeBSD was running, but it does happen when I boot into DOS ever so often. Anyway, I'm happy with it, and even happier with the price. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
