The most significant cost is in the proprietary gigabit serial link from the host system to the remote box. Other than that, the entire remote box is pretty much off-the-shelf ATX stuff ... not even of the best quality. That being said, the concept does work, and you can install, say, an UATA/66 card and hard drives in the remote box and boot off of the attached devices. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
