I have just been logging on to someone else's

And Integrity boxes are even faster.
For the amount of electricity they use they sodding well ought to be too!!
I couldn't be happier with the DS10L's performance (mine is the one Rob's been
using). It does make a little too much noise, but even the missus has become used to it
being on the whole time in our study. It also running with a shadowset on the system disk,
which does noticeably slow it down.
I'd like an itanium, but I haven't heard of one which is reasonable enough on the
power front to warrant being on for extended periods of time. The DS10L is around 180W,
which is not *too* bad.
