I notice they've now added the "Mac Pro Server" version to the Apple
Store
as well.
Though,..am I missing something here:-
(OK,..here goes). From the Apple Online Store.
<http://www.apple.com/au/store> MacPro
Quad-Core
One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor
3GB (three 1GB) memory
1TB hard drive
SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5
A$ 3,499.00
If you configure this to be the same as the Server model on the
store with
8GB RAM and the second Hard Drive it comes in at $4224
Server
One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor
8GB (four 2GB) memory
Two 1TB hard drives
SuperDrive
Mac OS X Server unlimited-client license
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5
A$ 3,799.00
Now if you wanted to run Snow Leopard Standard on it, you'd buy that
for
either $39 (although that's the upgrade from Leopard version) or the
full
Mac Box Set so as to get iLife and iWork as well. That's $169.
Total $3968.
So,..by my thinking,.you buy the server plus MacBox Set for $3968.
Save $256
AND get a full OSX Server unlimited client license.
Again,..I ask,..am I missing something there??? Lol :)
(I only just threw that together,..so I could have overlooked
something and
I used all the pricing straight from the Apple online store RRP
pricing of
course)
Kind Regards
Daniel

Apple has announced the end of the Xserve, sad as I quite liked
the systems.
