Hi all. I spotted this baby on EBay.
For what it seems, looks like a good deal?
Pictures show a 23 caddies, a M/B with dual CPU coolers, 4 x PSU.
From what I have read, it appears to be purpose built as a back up server.
Is there any benefit from using something like this for a back up unit, rather than a 'typical' 4 or 5U unit one can buy from mrrackables and adding M/B and NICs yourself.
For $200 looks like a bargain, unfortunately I have run out of room to accommodate so I thought someone here may be interested. Cheers

(NB. Same seller has another similar unit, not working, selling for parts $250???)
