I started drooling when I saw that listed.  There are only 3 things keeping me from getting it.  Money, space and power. ;)  I've already got two racks in my basement. I don't think I could fit two more plus some sort of disk without domestic trouble starting.  Plus the house doesn't have 3-phase power and, although I haven't checked, I'm sure this baby would like that.  I guess I'll have to be happy with Simh-11.
