I've used them all fairly heavily, except the Foundry gear. Alteon's my
personal fave. Biggest problem with the F5: hard drive. In my book,
that means you instantly need two, doubling the price.
For price concerns, tho, just check ebay. $13k AD3s for $2500...don't
say nothing good came from the dotcom crash.
