i can't wait for that day.  the day that a 4500 would be something that i could
afford.  that and a nice FC box like a small EMC or HDS.  but until then, my
large SGI machine will have to do what i need.  the Challenge gear does have
the benefit of being cheap since it's "old" as compared to the Origin line.
the 4500 is just now getting a bigger next gen brother, so it will soon fall to
the same level. ;)
