That sort of thing does happen, more often then you might think, but  
of course you can't count on it.

Even 36GB is not of all that much use on a modern Myth system I'm  
afraid, though I do envy you the speed that drive should have.

Of course to take advantage of the speed of U320 15K RPM SCSI drives  
you have to spend more on a controller than you might spend on an  
entire Myth system. Then you need a 64-bit PCI slot to put the  
controller in, so just about any mobo ever discussed on this list is  
out the window...
