AOpen Mini-mac clone + More
The Taiwanese vendor AOpen has a new Mac-mini clone - looks pretty nifty but not quite as slick as a Mac-mini in terms of finish. Then again even the Mac can't compete with the Hoojum (formerly Netbox) goodies.

Adminfoo has all sorts of cool stuff in there like this commentary on Petabox servers.

I like his comment about ditching RAID in favour of data replication across cheap servers. The one thing going for RAID is that it might buy you enough time to switch over to something else if one disk fails. Looks like Capricorn-Tech do Petabox servers. Nice.
