Yup, AFAIK the E250 is really just a tower version of an UE2
(UltraEnterprise 2), I think even the same motherboard, which I have
and it works great, but I only have the dual 300s.  Wah.  Really nice
machine with Debian 3.0 on it.  The machine is so loud when running that
you can't stay with 10 feet of it, so naturally I don't use the video at
all.
