	I bought a GVP 30 mg. HD about 1 year ago.  It is very reliable, 
moderately fast and was easy to install.

	There are only 2 problems.
		1:  cost COST CCOOSSTT!!! (way too much) Close to $800 with
the auto-boot.

		2:  The fan sounds not unlike a jet engine winding up for
take-off.  You get used to the noise, but the neighbors might not. :)  And
if you are watching TV, listening to the radio, etc... It can be VERY annoying.
