As a matter of fact, yes. We are/were starting up/have a Secure Data Storage setup. We already have/had several clients (mostly lawyers and a judge type stuff). The problem is not the business, it's the partner. He has the first site (and the current clients) and the startup equipments (front end). I was setting up the second site with the larger storage bays (back end). He is the software end and I am the hardware end (with some crossover here and there). Where we run into trouble is he wants this and he wants that, and I front the cash to do it all. Then when it comes time to pay for it, there is never any money. But he always seems to have enough for his stuff (and his family), HINT HINT... It's a trust thing and I don't want to get into it here honestly, but the bottom line is, I am tired of starving and eating the costs while he seems to do fine and I have yet to see a penny from current clients, but he does somehow. I bought it. I paid for it. Now I am going to sell it. Simple.

As for prices. LOL There is a reason I have not talked about it much here on the forum. People here are looking for steal deals and super bargins. These units are tested top to bottom and work great. I have done some upgrades (like upgrading the 4200 from a celron 2Ghz to a full p4 2.4Ghz and memory etc) and have the current 4.4.049 Guardian OS (which is needed for full Vista support etc) which aint cheap. In other words, these won't go cheap (like $400 or something). They are good units and I will have no problem selling them at all, but I have doubts anyone here on the forum would pony up. I could be wrong. But for the 3 units I mentioned before, the prices will be in the $750 to $1000 zone, depending on which unit. See? Still damn good deals for what they are, but not steal deals, I can't afford that given what I have invested in them.
