Hi Thomas, Yes they are! And I've never had one issue with the machines! I have purchased 10 of them over the past 2 years and they all still work just Great! So, for testing and development they have been very great boxes. I like virtual pc and vmware, but sometimes you really need the extra Boxes depending on testing and lab setups. Also, the free shipping helps..

I buy lots of test hardware from Boeing surplus and also, I get some very nice dual proc machines from this source. Http://www.pcsurplusonline.com I don't get any rewards for making those recommendations. They just have reasonable prices and allow you To truly setup lab or production environments with backup units inexpensively.
