    ...how long will you tolerate the "add an iPod for $499 more!" hard-sell every time you order another rack unit?

    ...do you really want a 1U rack that advertises color depth and framerate benchmarks instead of requests per second?

    ...do you want to run a server that can be DOS'd by crashing OpenGL?

    And most importantly...

    ...do you trust your lonely sysadmin alone with a "lickable" server?
