anyone seen the rackmount yet?

[dePoPo]

My first post was incomplete, i meant to point attention to the GVS9000 rackmount from terrasoft, which does run macosx.
soz.

Apple completely dropped using "Macintosh" in 1999, I think (when the B/W G3s were introduced), so in that case it's going to be PowerMac G4 Server or something like that

ahh... but if you're on windows and trying to access your iTools account, it says you must have a Macintosh...

other than that, i normally see Mac...

LOL... The MACHintosh... he he.

I vote they'll call it something like the PowerRaq... just like the Sun/Cobalt Raq.

If they are doing a headless rack-mount server, don't they need their own Timbuktu-like remote control?

I read that it will have a web browser control interface.

This thing is going to rock!

I really hope it's possible to install regular OS X on it. What a home computer! I'm sure I could put a liquid nitrogen cooling system in a rackmount box

ToomyWillB, Apple does has it's own Timbuktu type program, they just came out with it, its called Apple Remote Destkop and it actually has a pretty cheapo license price compared to some other programs.

The GVS 9000 2U Dual Ghz G4 rackmount server that http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com sells comes with Mac OS X and Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed.

The briQ, on the other hand is a G4 super computer that is only 5.75 inches wide. It only runs YDL (Yellow Dog Linux). Great for rendering farms!!

see Pictures at http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/

Ps: My vote is for the PowerRack

I think apple needs to drop the "i" a little bit. The "i" stands for internet, right? iPod? is not an internet Pod. I guess iPhoto is connected to the internet a little bit, but not enough to get the "i". A lot of other conpanies are using the "i" now. it is getting old. drop the "i".

Then what would we have? A Pod? A Photo?

I guess everything could become "x"... but Microsoft may have already beat Apple to that one with the xBox.

This thing really seems to rock ! Apple's still the best !

Wow! That's huge! Taking the average person to be six feet tall, the rackmount is about 4 feet tall and about 20 feet wide!

And this is supposed to be a good thing?

Note: this is a joke. This is only a joke. Don't bother explaining anything about the photo...
