    doesnt use standard IDE hard disk, but SCSI, has HQ RAM etc.

    its like a well built engine, e.g. sporting is far faster then other 1.2s!

    good analogy. although i suspect my 10,000rpm WD raptor sata drive works as fast if not faster (running on p4 3.2ghz 800mhz fsb, 1g pc 3200 ram, gf fx5700 ultra etc)

    Normally people who want a home server don't need them to be very fast at all. A 500mhz jobby would do. That's a bargain at that price.
