[SunRescue] E450 Disks

[Don Varner]

I'll check into both vendors.  Computergiants is a bit more
expensive overall but I'd only have to deal with one vendor
since they include a bracket kit.

Thanks Nick and Rip....


Anybody using 73Gb disks in an E450? They're a bit
lower cost per gigabyte than the 36Gb.
