For that kind of money you could get an E250 (a great box! I love mine)
from anysystems.com on eBay (of course, S/H for such a heavy system is
pricey)... The E250 is a much more robust box, IMHO.

I agree with Dave though, if it was local and the price was low enough
(I'd consider up to $125-150) it is a decent deal if you want a
low-cost MANY-drive server (12 bays, but all on one SCSI string)...

Honestly, a U60 or even U30 would be a better buy, IMHO.
