and the associated SCSI cabling....

I have E450 backplanes (the larger and smaller ones), but no cabling....
(then again, no E450s either :-) ).  I loved those boxes.... but due to 
their
size, I'd rather have an Ultra 80.  (due to power constraints, I'd 
rather run
fewer #s of larger drives, than the E450s ability to run larger #s of 
smaller
drives :-) ).
