I like the way the case looks - but what OS is he running on these servers? The only reference I saw to any operating system was a screenshot of a windows XP welcome screen.

Pity a 19 inch rack means someone who looks like Paris - no tits - Hilton.

Sure, sure. "Time is money" But how much is time owrth if you were just going to waste it? If it take me 10 hours to home-brew my own file-server, am I really worse off than if I spent 30 minutes buying one and 9.5 hrs watching TV? I would dare say the opposite is true. By building my own I gain experience, insight, and bragging rights. By watching 9.5 hrs of TV I lose brain cells and a little bit of my sanity. Hmm. Tough decision
