I will second that. The Iyonix is a fine machine.

Disc drives can and do fail in any machine so part of bringing the
Iyonix into use should be devising a backup plan. I have a second hard
drive in my Iyonix which is a copy of the first, I also have a backup
over my network on my RiscPC. I have kept my RiscPC, partly because I
never get rid of anything, but also as a whole backup machine kept up to
date just in case to Iyonix fails.

I have had hard drive failures in both machines.
