That machine I mentioned, configured with 2 x 6 core 2.8Ghz E5660's and
48GB ram, and the 25 bay SFF (2.5") drive chassis, redundant power, and
a P411 RAID card with 1gb flash-back write-cache (equivalent to battery
backed, but without needing battery replacements every 3-4 years) was
about $8000 with a discount. and no disks.
for $500, you could get a low end desktop computer. or a HP microserver.
