Oooh... I know what one of my next toys is going to be.

A nice R/390 to put in my F50.

I *heart* my F50.

So far it's a quad 336 with 1.5 GB of RAM and controls my fiber  
channel shelf(FC9).  I just put one of the Shark cards back in and I  
have a Powervault 120T hooked to it ready for some TSM action soon.

Sridhar I assume you'd like the hostname given your proclivities.   
It's the fiber channel controller so I called it metamucil.
