Just be aware that the box will consume a bit of power, produce
a bit of heat and be much louder than your Ultra 5.
Louder? Nope; your typical Ultra-5/Ultra-10 makes *more* noise than
your typical SunBlade 2000. At least in my experience.

Confirmed, the fans of my Blade 1000 are less noisy than those of
my U10 and my Blade 100. Alas, the FC disks (36GB) of the B1000
are prone to loud head movements, these are disturbing.

Hmmm... might just be ours that is a bit noisy. I can accept
that.
