[rescue] Ultra 5

[Kenneth Caruso]

I bought one of $315 Ultra 5 270's of ebay about a month ago, probably
the same guy (in AZ, I think). I have had no problems with it what so ever
and am quite happy. I think $315 is a reasonable price, all the ones for
more money either have faster proc, more disk, more mem etc... I stuck an
el cheapo maxtor 7200rpm in mine without any trouble.
