Oh, right, the Qube, I forgot about that one. I was thinking the RaQ
series. Which in theory, could be connected via scsi2 to a RAID
array if you wanted, but you won't get much performance that way :)
The RaQ series was specifically targeted at the ISP/ASP/Web hosting
market. The systems are really nice, AMD based units, which are
!9"x12"x1u. They're small enough that you could realistically
populate *both* sides of a 19" rack with them and have all the cabling
go down the center of the rack. Definitely a design that maximizes
floor space in a data center :)
I forgot the Qube was meant as a LAN server. Sorry for the confusion.
