	I want to set up a small network of 4 clients with access to a server to store large image files. I'm interested in the BEST option available. I've been looking at the Snap Server 4500 and the Xserve. I really need a fast, reliable solution. On the Snap Server, I like RAID 5 configuration, simplicity, price and low power req's. With Xserve, I like that it could be a print server and that, well, it's an Xserve. Anybody have any advice for me? Can Xserve be config'd as RAID 5? And now the rub... I gotta buy one of these Monday. Any advice GREATLY appreciated.
