    16 threads of the latest CPU technology, default configured with a single slow 160GB drive and only 3GB of RAM... yay for balanced systems (not).

    You'd think they might manage more than 3GB of RAM, when you're paying up to $3,500 per unit, right?

    Not an apple fan myself, but their cases always look the part.
    Probably the nicest looking rack mountable server case I've ever seen.
    Looks more like a silverstone htpc case.
    MediaPC - ASRock H61M-DGS - 8gb ddr3 - i3 2120 - R9 270 - antec fusion black - lg ggc-h20l - windows 10 - denon avr-1911 - JVC 58" 1080p RPTV
    Server - MSI Z77A-G45 - 16gb ddr3 - i7 2600k - 4u Rack mountable - sas 1068e + expander - 3ware 9650se - 16 * 2tb + 2 * 3tb - TBS 6984, 6284 & 6920 - 2 * astrometa dvb-c - windows 7 pro

    Fair enough then I guess. If they're selling then more fool the guys who justify their prices.

    I think I'll buy one to use as a great big mouse mat.
