But, it had all 4 of the drive slides in there, so for about $175 each, I can buy a 36GB Seagate Cheatah LC style 10krpm Ultra320 Scsi disk drive (it will take 4, and the 72gb drives work as well); and memory (up to 2 GB for sure) is also available at less than $600/mb, if you really want to go for a king-size system. I did have to change the console to SRM (I'm sure it was an NT machine) and install the latest firmware (downloadable from the hp website). I also had to find a random Plextor SCSI CDrom and an old floppy drive (don't know if that will work, but I shouldn't need it). Carl Friedberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.comets.com
