I think the F50 is my all-time favorite RS/6000. Used them for SP
Control workstations, L*t*s D*min* servers, database servers, HACMP
clusters. They can hold a surprising amount of storage and are
generally trouble free. I'd say go for it. It'll run rings around your
43p. If you need to buy one, though, you may want to have a look at
the more recent boxen. They are coming down in price marvellously, and
have many more RAS features than the good ol' F50.

YM of course MV, always read the safety precautions, use mirrored
disks only, always wear eye protection goggles, look both ways before
crossing etc. etc. etc.
