Jeff, 

Thanks for the response . . .  But if that is the case,  then why spend so
much
on a RAQ4 if I can build a PC that will do the same for much much less?

What about the network card?  Is it just a 100 Mbs card?

Why the cost difference?

Brian Has This TO say:

John,

Because the "normal" admin/ISP/hoster/whatever is either lazy, stupid (when
it comes to hosting, etc), or needs a solution that can do EVERYTHING with
NO SETUP, No Hassles, etc.

I run both a Linux PC, and a Raq 4r.  I like the Raq because I have yet to
experience a big hassle that I haven't been able to fix, I really like it
because I can do ASP on it, and use it for development.  If I want to run
ASP on my Linux Box, I need to buy ChiliSoft!, with the Raq4r, I get the
updates for FREE.

Best example,

Do you know much about cars?

If YES -> Why do you buy them, why not build one?

Answer, COST EFFECTIVENESS ... It is easier to use something prebuilt.
