   Define Cheaply and the replacement goal ?

   1u ES10's are only about 1,100.00 on Ebay...

   ES40's are usually under 2500.00....

   1200's are often under 500.00....

   And 1000A's 5/333 are often around 200.00.

   When I find a GS80-GS120, for under 5,000 I think
I am going to snag it.  :)

   Other than browning out the local power
grid during IPL, the smell of 32 parallels processors
is only rivaled by Moms kitchen on Thanksgiving.
