That is SO cool..!

Huh, I don't know about those x330 prices though.. We get our x330's for
less than $2K ($1500/1600 I think) new. Or maybe that's a newer x330 yr
talkin bout, cause our 1u's only have 2 5.25" sled bays.. They can come with
a lotta options that I dont use though like the ibm-serveraid or fddi
stuff..

Also I had ta set up a mac osx server rack last year, there's some company
(whose name escapes me at the moment, sorry) who sells rackmountable
enclosures for their regular cases.. sure took up a lot more than 1u though!

here's the price comparison from the presentation:
  Dell PowerEdge 1560 $4277 - 3 bays
  IBM eServer X330 $5186 - 3 bays
  Sun Fire 280R $19590 - 2 bays
  Xserve $3999 - 266MHz DDR SDRAM, 4 bays means more total capacity

also take note, this is apparently the first dual RISC srever in 1U,
resulting in 630 gigaflops/42U rack (that's an apple blurb...so take that
with a grain of salt).
