OK, fair enough, but but the RAM is pretty reasonable ($135 for 4 Gig ECC 
kits)[2, meaning for $500 (with change back?) you could have a pretty nice 
little server with 5 Gig RAM, 2x 160 Gig HD, (free SATA DVD?), and a dual-
core/single socket Operton server...

I said *some* here might be interested, I didn't think it would distract 
anyone from their home mainframes ;^)
