Expensive yes! But, as far as reliability goes I Have two D-box towers with mediator sx and Fast ATA 1200. The only problem I have had with them since I assembled them over two years ago is one failed floppy drive. Also, the D-box is no Alien tower but I think it looks nice. I also have dual Xeon workstations I use for Business. I do not even compare the two as for speed there is no camparison. When I want to use amiga stuff on my free time I use my Amigas, when I do my work stuff its on the intel. I do wish I had more free time.
