And with just one GPU -- that must be one hella powerful GPU!

I think a driving or flight sim with numerous monitors should be pretty fun....

The new 5870 seems to be pretty powerful, it mostly matches up with nvidia's dual chip card in performance. Not sure if six monitors would work well though

I was thinking the same think. Live For Speed on that setup...

Dell's version of a Mac Mini: Dell Inspiron Zino HD Desktop

[n_maher]

$229? Holy hell.

Just had some fun customizing one of those, and it's amazing how quickly you can get north of $750 w/ no monitor!

Data Robotics introduces 5-bay Drobo S, enterprise-ready DroboElite -- Engadget

New Drobo with firewire 800 and is still recoverable after 2 drive failures.

dual disc redundancy goodness.

[tkam]

the 8-bay "elite" is absurd, $3.5k w/ no drives. dual disc redundancy isn't anything new it's called RAID 6.

$3.5k w/ no drives.

I didnt even bother checking the price, but thats more stratospheric than I would have ever guessed.

As other people have pointed out, this is an expensive way to get a similar feature set as ZFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (RAIDZ2 gives you 2 disk disk redundancy e.g. A Hands on Introduction to ZFS Pools; Part 3: RAIDZ2, scrubbing and resilvering - Technology for Sun Partners for an illustration)

I've been wondering how long it would be before we see a ZFS based appliance.

So have other people.

DroboPro at SNW

Looks like I may not have to wait that long.

is that screen...curved?

[grawk]

Raid 6 controllers aren't cheap. $3500 isn't actually a bad deal for an enterprise raid6 controller.

[Grahame]

Or you could do it in software

[Dusty Chalk]

is that screen...curved?

Yuppers.

It's essentially so big, that you start to get distortion because the pixels are different distances from your eyes, so they fixed it by curving the entire thing.

PS I changed my mind, I don't want -- it's only "900p". Although the ultra-widescreen aspect (pun intended) would have been nice. Can you imagine having every single one of your iTunes columns up at once?

[shellylh]

One could just get the ghetto version: two 20" or 24" displays display side by side, each towed in - works for me.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I saw that it didn't even do 1080p.
