Hi kenneth,

Maybe you should send us your url here, so we can check every now and then
for new Qube stuff.
I have my qube II running on NetBSD 1.6.2 now for a few weeks and it rocks,
compared to the RedHat version it came with. I have anly one 10 GIG drive
inside. Do I really need another powersupply/adapter for a 2 drive config of
my qube?

I also have a qube2 with three 250 gb drives in it. (yeah I know overkill).
I left the normal fan and added another one in the top of the case to help
out with cooling.  I use a 60W powersupply and it gets a little warm but no
biggie.  The tx2 card does give better performance than the onboard ide.  I
just newfs'd the second and third hd's and it was much faster than the one
during initial install.  I would say that it gives about 2X performance over
the onboard one. Soon this little beauty will be running a site for qube2
stuff.
