Agree, Agree, Agree... You would be able to purchase a quad core system each month on the electricity and cooling costs to run a E10K. with 450 Meg Hertz processors and old DDR memory I would not take one if you gave it to me. And I have administered several in the past. A good machine for its day. But its day has come and gone.
