About $700 delivered. (DELL sells the RAID card alone for $300) Works like a champ. I replaced the 20GB drives with 4x120GB WD1200JB drives in a RAID-5 config and it boots quite happily. Seems like a nice box, good price. Dell's web site seemed to have new "specials" every week: sometimes free RAM, sometimes free second disk, sometimes free RAID controller (then you have to pay their price for a second disk when you order). But they do seem like rather decent prices and well-built HW. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
