The only downside is that we wanted more memory than the 64 megs that come with it and that did cost us a little more than normal memory. Just thought I would let everyone know that FreeBSD installs on them without any problems at all... they have an onboard Adaptec 7880 controller, and a built in PCI... They are quick machines too... both are recognized flawlessly during the install. At this point, I have not tried using 3.0 to see if it recognizes the multiprocessor capability of this board.
