Heh.  18 inches?  That's short... :)

Me, I'll go for the one we used to sell the fire stations in the area. 
24-36" bar with carbide chains...They switched to chainsaws from axes and
heavy duty cutoff saws because they were lighter and cheaper.  Even with
carbide chains, after they used the saw to cut through a few roofs (say
1-3 fires), they'd still have mangled the chain to the point that it would
need teeth replaced and sharpened...

Husquevarna makes a good saw as well, but my money's always been on
Stihl...Great equipment, runs like a tank...

Yep, that's an Indy, only a  R4600PC-100, but not a bad box other wise. 
Came with 160mb of RAM, a floptical, and 535mb of disk for $100 even ;)
Great deal, I've dropped a 4 gb Narrow disk in it but haven't finished
setting it up yet.  Hope to eventually drop in the 24-bit graphics and
replace the power supply and module with an R5kSC-180...
