Hi,

	I'm having a heck of a time trying to find somewhere 
responsible and responsive to buy a server from. It shouldn't be
a major deal, but it does seem to be. I'm looking to replace
an ASUS AP1600R-S5. I just want something that has the same
sort of setup (Dual Xeons, 4G mem in enough chips I can
remove 1/2 if there a memory issue suspected, 4 small
size hot swap drives), CD/floppy INTERNAL this time, I need a SCSI
on a different port/channel/etc externally for a RAID, and
a redundant power supply would be really nice. 

	Trying to get companies to contact me back and 
get numbers that make sense is really problematic.

	Am I asking for too much? Or too little? Or
too old (SCSI).

		Thanks, Tuc
