Actually Mark..I just did an HP DL320 (the system I believe you were
talking about) with 9TB (12x750 SATA) for a client for under $8K.
This include $400 or so for three years of on site services, before
requesting any additional (special) discount. So your $11K estimate
is more than a bit high.

... FWIW our JackRabbit unit supports 48 x 1TB (1000GB) drives in 5U ...
A terabyte here, a terabyte there, and soon you are talking about real
storage ... :)
Sun uses Opteron 280's, which are dual core socket 940 processors. They
are limited to 4 cores and 16 GB ram. Again, FWIW, our JackRabbit can
hit 16 cores and 64 GB ram.
