Haha, good answer. Home office is something very personal. Don't judge it with your own perception.

I think it's a loaded Xserve RAID instead. Xserve, in general only weight <20Kg.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP101 (scroll down) Can't wait to see a Mac server setup here. Although I did saw some at client's place, but those are strictly "no camera". |

Yup, Xserve RAID 14x500GB SATA, complete with applecare + the FC controller card too
As for the price, let's just say that its a good enough price that I didn't even think twice about it. Although I'm probably gonna ask myself what the heck I'm gonna do with it later though.. Most likely cart it to over to me office after playing with it for a few weeks. This post has been edited by fyire: Mar 9 2010, 10:11 PM |

If I recall correctly they should be U-ATA. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAID |
