The particular two boxes I have been working with were purchased new quite a while ago. I just recently purchased one off of ebay though. :) I like these boxes, quite quick and powerful for dirt cheap. I want to get more, but it seems I'm facing a hard choice. Move away from ubuntu and keep powerful, nice enterprise hardware, or keep hardware and move back to a BSD or slack. Whether or not 804 ends up being fixed by release time will probably be my deciding factor.
