BenchmarkingFreak writes "OSnews is running a story about a new benchmarking competition: OSU Open Source Lab wanted to take the concept of benchmarking a little bit further with the Beaver Challenge 2004. In this competition they will be allowing a community of experts in each OS to tweak their configurations to ensure maximum performance. And they are running it all on wicked machines, just imagine... well you know."

inability to drop below an 80GB HD to the 18GB like the Dell has

You mean the upgrade from a 80 Gig SATA HD to 5 36 Gig SCSI Drives set in Raid 0. The Mac is an overpriced piece of hardware. If your going to pay that much you should buy a Sun Server. They've done Unix for 20 years Mac has done Unix clone for 3 years.
