I don't doubt it's good, but it seemed to me to be nearly twice the cost
of the Tyan Titan that I settled on, for no difference in performance.
The Tyan Titan didn't use the motherboard, and I thin maybe that's the
largest reason for the higher cost.  Either that, or maybe I didn't search
out the lowest cost ...
