check it

Personally they just strike me as the "uber c00l PC" things that people build, and hence I . But the screen makes it more interesting, even though actually using that daily would suck. It's perpendicular to the desk even though it would be well below eye level. If it's just for monitoring, then OK, although I think if these guys want to do servers then they should start thinking racks and KVMs.

Anyway, I found this while looking for info on the Loonatics (typed loonatic.com and this is what I got). Figured it was worth a post.

Yeah, servers with RAID 0. Hope they've got good backups!

Yeah, I can't see that on a server. Raid 1 would be more in order, I think.

Yeah, those imac wannabes need a decent stand, but I'll give you this -- for a bit more thickness you've got a machine that runs any imac in existence into the ground
