It actually took five days for this thread to degenerate into pictures of scantily clad women. I would have expected you to act faster, boys. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

<strong>Umm, most of you guys have absolutely no clue about rackmounts. A few do, but for the most part...
Pretty is not important, small and functional is. Smaller does not mean cheaper. What some companies pack into a 1U case is pretty impressive. And they charge for it. Don't look for less than $2K. If it is less I would be shocked. These boxes are designed to be money makers for those selling them. If Apple does this right, this could make a LOT of money for them and help them sell tons of machines. Working in a very large data-center (over 500 servers production, over 200 staging, over 50 QA and over 50 Dev) I see many machines go through. As was stated earlier, only the SGI boxes are "pretty looking". The rest are plastic nightmares.</strong><hr></blockquote>
