QUOTE(wei @ Mar 9 2010, 10:34 PM) The last Xserve RAID was in G4/G5 era. Are you sure your unit came with SATA bus controller? If I recall correctly they should be U-ATA. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xserve_RAIDOpps yeah.. UDMA. My mistake. Too used to just using the term 'SATA' to describe anything that's non scsi these days.

Anyway. It's still a good deal if can afford the space to house one in a server rack.
A proper RAID case should cost RM1k above, be it synology or drobo. Plus drives should be around 2-3k.

But can't seem anywhere to haves stocks of them.

Just back from Lowyat this evening, bought a Acer S243HL. Was attracted by the slimness and also the unique stand.w00t! Initially wan buy Samsung one but the dual HDMI of tis LCD with the price RM789 attracts me  Anyway, here's my setup at college. Sorry for the bad looking table, will be going back hometown after graduation in 1 month ^^
