And a lot of money. Mine was a cool $4kmumble from DKS directly, but when it arrived the board wasn't recapped, the case was cracked, the machine was troublesome and the hard disk was flaky. I ended up recapping it, replacing the hard disk and case and a few other parts, and rebuilding Genera. Total cost, not counting the time I sunk into the damn thing, was around $6000. I guess it's fun, but the 164LX under the bench running OpenGenera on Tru64 is leagues faster. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Computer geeks don't byte; we just nybble. ---------------------------------
