Agreed, but if you want to run wit IDE drives, the Ultra 5/10 is a decent way
to go... ;^) But, having said that, I wouldn't part with actual folding money
for either these days.
The ultra 30/60 are much, much better machines in every way imaginable (except
weight).
Side note - I was at Dayton this year, there was a flea market vendor trying
to sell SGI Octane 2 systems for $250, he had them running off a generator
with a tank battle program running - slowly.
