    XSAN - OpenFiler

    You could likely throw (8) 3TB drives into a Drobo B800i for around 4K. It's iSCSI so it should work fine with your xsan environment. Do you already have a machine running a hypervisor with spare overhead to allocate to running Openfiler? Because having to buy a server, and then vmware...

    Control shape, size, and color of individual google maps markers loaded from database

    The absolute cheapest SAN solution possible

    What would this look like with an xserve raid? Would I still need to use fibre anywhere, and where would the switch go, between the DAS and the controller (seams like that contradicts the definition of DAS) or between the controller and the rest of the servers? Is it possible to use link...

    Gaming PC in a rackmount chasis?

    you could definatly do it, but your prolly going to have to run onboard sound, and then find a pci-e riser for you video card, but that was in a 1u. perhaps if you went with something like a 5U it would work, but then why wouldn't you just use a smaller mid tower at that point.
