Not to mention only 512MB memory, and a processor family about to be EOL
(and already harder to get and higher-priced than the newer ones).
Also not to mention that their "Raq" trademark won't stand up against
Sun's "RaQ" trademark.
I'd wait on these guys, to at least the second revision, but for me it's
a non-issue anyway, we use RAID on all our systems; even on new
desktops.
