How much $$ to Upgrade to HSZ70?

Good afternoon,

I'm doing some budgeting this weekend and was looking for some input
from those of you in the field. I have a AlphaServer 1000A 2-node
cluster connected to a Raid Aray 450. The Array cabinet has a single
HSZ50 in it and the cluster nodes are connected via Differential SCSI
using KZPDA-AA cards.

I want to plan for an upgrade for this to accomplish two things:

1) stop using the differential SCSI, each box has it's own I/O to the
cabinet
2) upgrade from SCSI-I to Ultra SCSI.

So, I figure I'll need two new HSZ70's for the cabinet, and the
corresponding two SCSI controllers for my AlphaServer's.

Can anyone tell me a budgetary figure (in U.S. dollars) for the
equipment?

Thanks!

Pete
