The price keeps going up - we paid $1349 3 months ago.  - 

Intel's product is full of bugs - and they enclose a note saying so.
We never got the Adaptec 1542 boot disk to boot on a 1542 - but
did get it to boot on a bustek.  With IP installed, the kernel will
core dump every of couple of hours.  UUCP file limits of 2 megabytes.
Lot of little hidden problems - I would suggest Dell over Intel.
