Does anyone know if the Value editions come with any of the peripheral hardware features the Express models have such as tape drive, ethernet/twinax IOAs, WAN, etc.? That could very well make the difference in price even with the 0.5% lower lease rate if one had to add all that. DASD would definitely have to be added and in some cases main memory as well to bring a base Value box up to Express base configuration levels. -- Kyle S.
