Come and get it and toss $30 at me (need beer money :)

Actually I have a second one as well in a rackmount case. I can throw it
in for an additional $20 and you can put both drives in the rackmount
(1U). This is NOT the 10 tape carousel model (I'm keeping mine - love
it! - and one external drive for portability reasons) but just a simple
2 drive rack.

The Ecrix VXA systems are a very good balance of price vs. ability. So
far my experience has been they are quite reliable. 6+ years with no
hardware downtime.
