They have the same system with a 100 GB EIDE drive instead of dual 36GB SCSIs for $109. All that does is let me know that I can purchase a cheap old EIDE drive for storage and set the two 36 GB drives up in RAID 0 with the OS on them.

The price was great and where I work would allow me to canabilize parts (Memory, SCSI Drives Processors, from servers before they turn them in.

I can 't even get to that site today. I was going to buy that system and use it as my backup/file server.
