Well, ... shoot ... for that reason *alone* <grin>.

But the boxes are nicely put together: motherboard on casters and rails,
redundant power supplies/fans, hot plug HDs (up to 7 if you pull the tape
drive and CD) in cool sleds, dual internal SCSI bus (plus one external), a
RAID card was optional. It reminds me of the U250, except I can't find a
RAID card for the U250 that will use the internal drives and it only has one
internal SCSI bus. And the 700s case looks nicer.
