I'd look in Computer Shopper magazine and deal with a Pee Cee company
before I'd mess with LRO.  Their hardware is _known_ to be crap 3/4 of
the time.

If you can get ahold of them, try Econ Technologies to see if they
have an Pegasus shells left.  I bought one on the recommendation of a friend,
and have not been disappointed at all.  A shell costs like $60, same
as a heavy duty powr supply, plus you can stick your SCSI drive in it.
