$1000 including 
 | HDSIBM18G10K   | 18G IBM 10k rpm U160 SCSI            |  2  |
 | SCAD29160      | Adaptec 29160 U160 SCSI card         |  1  |
  
Not bloody likely!  You're looking at ~$400 for each of the drives, and
there are two of them.  It's then like another $150 for the controller.

That system is quite nice, and the price was not bad at all.  SCSI disks
are worth the extra money (especially for 10k RPM).

noah
