I have a couple of Sun X1s...and they are indeed nice little units, especially given the price. The Appro 1124 is a nice box...although it's more expensive than the Sun box. It's a nice 1U chasssis with four (4!) hot-swap drive bays and the Tyan Athlon MP motherboard. http://www.appro.com/1124/index.html -marc On Wed, 11 Jul 2001, R.P.
