The B80 sleds are steel rugged thingies.  They are the same sleds as  
the IBM 44P workstation as the B80 is just a 44P server.  The bottom  
sled is a Netfinity sled.  Those are a dime a dozen.  I've got tons  
of those with old 18's in them.  I don't think the B50 uses those,  
however.  I could check the B50 we have in the basement (retired gear  
room).  I would think that they look similar to the Netfinity fronts  
but are not the same interface.  The B80 looks completely different.
