This is very good the hear. The key question at this point is this, Is this the last big step forwards? What I am looking for here is a warm and fuzzy feeling in my gut that I can perform my last BFU on this box and then run with it for the next year. It will have power and cooling and love. Nothing else. It will also have the sum total work of 118 people and ghastly large numbers of manhours of work on it. So really if I can perform the build 36 BFU and then run for a year I am happy. In my opinion Solaris has this sort of reputation, apply power and walk away for a year. Dennis
