Iirc correctly, all our F330s were the same color as the disk 
trays.  I know they weren't nuclear yellow.

We even had a couple of those "shark gill" faceplated ones 
(540's?) with the polished aluminum.  I hear those still go for 
good prices (just the faceplates).

The life of a sys admin would be a lot easier if all the other 
stuff we use worked as well as NetApps.  Of course, they'd be 
hiring monkeys instead of folks like us to do the job, then, too.
Oh, wait, they already started doing that...nevermind.
