Nice indeed, especially with the cards that he got with it.  I scored one for 
free that was being trashed with 512MB and two f/w differential controllers.  
I'm looking for a video adapter now.  

The box is useful enough, not too horribly slow.  I had this to choose versus 
several other, older 7012's in the 3xx series... anything from 
20-somethingMhz through 48.  Yuck.  The only bad thing about this machine is 
that it spews heat like crazy.  I can't leave it on all the time or else my 
house would burn down.
