I have been using grand prix's on my news and web servers for 7 months now at an ISP. Haven't had a single problem with them. I wouldn't touch a micropolis, the cs dept. has had 8 of them go bad within a year of purchase. Usually a total hardware failure. No data recoverability at all. Backups are a good thing.
