} } In general I would avoid the Compaq machines, for several reasons: } } 1. Everything in them is very proprietry, the frames you mount your } disks in, the SCSI controllers, you name it. } } 2. They are overpriced. } } 3. Due to #1, you're stuck with compaq support/service, and over } here that amounts to "It had a RAM error, so we changed the } motherboard & the SCSI controller. That will be $3000 thankyou!" } } -- I'll second that assessment. Proprietary, quirky, expensive and costly to repair.
