1124373 2010-08-04 04:55:00 Sounds almost identical (except the SSD) to a box we have in a site that was about US$7500. Apple Xserve. Pretty sure they're SATA disks in this one. inphinity (7274)

Based on what?

I used to use a software RAID 1 setup on my old Server 2003 setup and it saved me on at least one occasion from having to reload the OS.

I wouldn't think so, try pricing one up in the apple store
