Now there is an idea.  Instead of all the controller cards and drives,
one  IBM mainframe (cost, $2k I believe Sridhar said the otherday, assuming
that the G1s are fast enough for this), and 1 1TB array, which is 
prepresumably $2K since Sridhar was recently saying mainframe storage is 
$1.5k/TB.

So, that is the cost of one machine, 2 Hippi controllers, and $4k.

OK, maybe the numbers are off.  And I doubt he would do it, but it would
be by far the coolest option.
