hey gang,
based on the information Jeff Banta sent late yesterday afternoon, I went
to the IBM web site to look at the hardware being proposed.
We have gone from a $10K box to a $40+k box. This is obviously the retail
price but YIKES!!!
It does have a ups and raid capabilities, but to me this seems a bit
much. Especially if we would like to do the two machines as exactly the same.
the information I found is at:

Am I overreacting?
