I don't have one in frnt of me, but these numbers are definitely a bit off.
I'd say more like 4w x 5h x 10d.

Basically ver similar in size to a Kleenex Box.  Very solid, ver quiet.

3 months ago when my brother wanted an 80 meg  we went with the protege,
because it included on-location, and, after youfigured in shipping, it
was only about $40 more than APS.  I believe APS has lowered their
prices alot more than MacAvenue since then though (in particular they
have the non-low-profile 105 internal for 399 at the moment), so the
current spread is greater and I lean back towards APS.
