Check out the Mylex RAID system.  Its a 5.25" form factor RAID unit.
They've probably got a DPT style case and a Mylex style RAID controller in
one of the 2 5.25" bays.

The cases probably are the same.

It could happen.  Clayton didn't think he'd make top 10, but he ended up
in #4.  That boggled me a bit.

Well, in a few months 3 of the Top 5 boxes will be at Erols or admined by
people at Erols.

Look for hunter.premier.net to move to #3, howland.erols.net to take down
mci, and news.erols.net to take #2 or #4 or something.

It should be good fun.

Have a good one.
