RE: [PHP] Cobalt RaQ

The reason they're so expensive is not the hardware, it's the complete webbased administration tool you're paying for. The users these products are targeted at, are those who can't administrate a server through a standard SSH/Telnet connection.

After doing so, I'm of the opinion that I'm missing something. $1,200 USD for a 300Mhz 1u box? $2,699 for a $450 w/256M RAM? $3,599 for a $450 w/512 RAM and a dual 30G HDs? What am I missing? You can get a dual-P3 800 w/ 256 RAM and a single 15G HD in a 1u for $2400 USD. With RAM and HDs being so cheap now, Is there something special about the RaQs? Software? Support? I just don't see anything to warrant the higher pricing. Are they RISC based and use the more expensive Sun chips with 2M SRAM?
