Look at what I just installed into the rack at work:
Inside revealed:

Installed but not yet powered up at the bottom of the stack:
http://idisk.mac.com/fourseason7444-Public/xserve-ext.jpg
From top to bottom:
Rose UltraMatrix KVM (x2)
Xserve RAID
Xserve G5
Xserve G5
Xserve G4
Xserve quad-core Xeon
Xserve quad(?) core Xeon. Or are they up to 8-core yet.
In the background are a stack of H-P Proliant DL380s, older ones on top, "G5" models with 2.5", 10K RPM SAS hard drives below and in between are a pair of SAS DLT tape drives. Price of those DL380s is surprisingly reasonable.

You can get them with 8 now, but it's a custom config, not stock.

nice. I can't tell you how long I have been trying to hunt down an original G4 xserve for a little experiment, but they are still quite expensive. Imagine, a mac with a PC serial port!!

The third Xserve down appears to have a slightly damaged slot for the CD/DVD. Can I have it? [😀] ]'>

Nice... XServes sure are drool-worthy. Awesome score though. Remember, when you leave. ask for all the old equipment as a parting gift 😛
