- Hayes has just emerged from Chapter 11, reasonably intact. I have no
- experience with their rackmount products, however my own results with
- their Optima 288 have been quite dismal. The Hayes Optima 288 is/was
- supposedly the top of the Hayes line at one time. Of those persons I
- know who actually own one, I know no one who would buy another.

- Whether the Hayes Century rackmounts are patterned after the Optima 288,
- only Hayes can tell you. If they are, my own recommendation would be to
- avoid them.
