http://www.iopliance.com offers a dual server in same case and is only 13
inches deep, and uses Intel's CPU and all. That is 80 servers per rack. And
the beauty is, that each server in the case is independent of the other, so
you could have Linux on side 1 and NT on side 2. This saves a lot on co
location fees. But doubles your profit on Rentals of them and starting out
with a P3 600, that is fast. I just bought one, and I love it. Europa2
