The jury's still out on it if it's 0.014lbs or 1400 lbs. Either way, you'll end up anchoring it to your desk, or your desk + floor will end up in the cellar. ;) |

The drive is possibly an EMC / StorageTek Iceburge array, though you'll need a small truck to move it about (not really portable) I'd give it a miss. http://www.boincstats.com/signature/user_74302.gif |
