   Yep, just bought a 3-pack from them. Excellent price, I think the 
30GB of memory (10GB each) they come with is worth more than the $525.

   They came very well packed (nice solid box, lots of foam (the 
spray-in kind, not the annoying "popcorn").

   They are all in great shape. My only minor complaint would be that 
the MP firmware on them is really out of date (2.20 IIRC). Not a big 
problem, it only took a few minutes each to update to the latest version.

    At the risk of being sacrilegious I have to admit that the first 
thing I did was install RedHat Linux on one of them.
