Hard Drives - Fast, Cheap, and SCSI

I got this in the inbox. Too bad Steve is away to give an answer for what I'm 
gonna offer. But first the "other offer". Email me offlist for details and I'll 
hook you up.

Now, here's my offer for ArchLUG/SILUG/LUCI. We have some *50* GB *10K* RPM 
drives (Seagate). 12 to be exact. However, half of them are being used. So, 
we're going to sell SIX (6) of them for $100 - which works out to the same 
$/GB as the above *smaller* 37.6GB and *slower* 7200 RPM drives.

What I/we plan to do with the funds is replace those six drives with some 
100GB+ IDE drives for the FTP site raid array. They'll still be RAID, but
won't need 2 GWatts to spin up the 12 SCSIs and redundant power supplies.
Not to mention running a bar-b-que on top from the heat they generate.

But what about extra money if we sell all 12? Ahem.
Well, we buy more IDE disks. Or a dual-Athlon64 rackmount server. :=)

I'm pretty sure 6 drives are available. If you want all 12, we'll throw in the 
MTI cabinet and power supplies and the spare chassis with one good power supply.

I've also got a Synchronics array with (10? I think) 12GB drives in it.
Make offer.

Email me offlist for any details.
