Acer has the C3xx (Celeron M 1,3GHz up to Pentium M 1,73GHz / 14,1" / 80GB / 512MB/DVD±RW / GeForce Go 6200 TurboCache) series of convertible tablet PCs. Their prices are the lowest I can find from all manufacturers (at least in Denmark, milage may wary, check your favorite price engine) with powerful specs to boot. Disadvantages seems to be the large size/weight and the 14" screen with only 1024x768 resolution. They also sell the C2xx series (PentiumM 1,73GHz/12,1"/1024x768/80GB/512MB/DVD±RW) which I just discovered existed:P
The one I'm planning on getting tho is the Toshiba Portege M200 (Pentium M 1,8GHz / 12,1" / 1400x1050 / 60GB / 512MB / GeForce FX Go5200). Small yet powerful at a resonable price.
Tomshardware sucessfully ran 32 S-ATA drives in a single box in RAID5 mode (2x 16 drive array because of software limitations). With the current generation of 500GB drives that should yield you close to 15TB. Add several more boxes along with some clustering software. http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20041006/index .html
In a motherboard with 4x PCI-X slots you will get very good performance for your money. S-ATA drives may not be as reliable as SCSI, but they (along with the controllers) are cheap so you can always have a few spare around in case a drive died (you would with SCSI anyway). Linux drivers are available ofcourse.
YES, there are no monitoring, screening or filtering on what you do with your internet connection. ISPs might not carry all newsgroups but that's about it.
Denmark is a nice country...we have more freedom than most people on this planet:)
Being from Denmark myself I can say that we in fact do have a minister of culture, and also a departmant (minitry) of cultur.
BTW Denmark is not the capital of Sweden or whatever most americans think it is.
It's an independant country/state located west of Sweden, east of the United Kingdom, south of Norway, and north of Germany.
*sigh* some ppl need to study geography a little more...there IS (*gasp*) a world outside of the USA:)

Danish law limits contracts to half a year.
Aqua is in fact danish altho the girl (named Lene IIRC ...don't like that kinda of music) is from Norway.
:)
On an interesting side note: Aqua contributes more to the Danish GNP (Gross National Product) than all the fishermen in the country combined.
Not bad for a band that sings about dolls and candy
