[BBLISA] NetApp DS14 14x72gb bargain

[Doug Mildram]

doug> pardon "flea market"-ness of this posting ...
     ...a very good item that I thought someone here might appreciate.

I recently bought (3) NetApp DS14 disk shelves + disks  
            ( loaded == 14 disks ..in this case, 72gb each disk)
from a very good source (~5 yrs old, but have been OFF part of the time,
             bought for a project that died...not blindly second-sourced)
I AM KEEPING MINE. 
I ran out of money to buy his last shelf, so,

There is (1) more AVAILABLE if you're in the market..
              at about half the "going" ebay price.

Fully populated shelf with 14 72gb disks, power supplies, LRC interfaces
(I'll doublecheck which kind..copper to copper, or copper to fiber/head ?),
      w/original packing, most or all mounting / cable goodies.

Price: $2000 plus shipping from Wisconsin
Condition: all green lights (he has no head,etc for other testing)
Warranty:  30 days, honor system (seller is VERY easy to deal with)

If interested, I'll pass you along to the seller 
(I won't remain in the middle)      - doug.mildram at mindspeed.com

--- more background comparison shopping:

 72gb NetApp disks (with caddies/brackets) on ebay 
                  (BerkCom as the high priced standard seller)
      had been going for $600 or more early this year.  
Dropping lately, some to be found elsewhere on ebay for $250.

  DS14 shelf minus disks...there is one on ebay surprisingly low,
       0 bids, $300 + shipping, ends in one day

math: shelf $300 plus (14 times $250) == $3800 plus shipping
