And if you do buy an after-market AS5300 (there is no other way any 
longer since they are EoEveryhing) make sure you buy plenty of spare 
parts.  Every 5300 I own has at least 1 failed fan.  I've had PSUs fail. 
  I've even had the main PRI cards themselves crap out on me.  The age 
of the hardware involved is great enough that things just start failing 
for no apparent reason other than gremlins or metal whiskers.
