Better idea

: buy one of those drool-worthy new Mac Pros coming out in the fall, and keep the old Pro as a ZFS server.

Ha believe me, I wish I could afford this! Although, the new pro kind of scares me. Don't get me wrong, it is a very cool design. It just looks a little too proprietary for me. The whole reason I bought a Mac Pro was so that I had the freedom to put whatever I want in it. Also, size has never mattered to me. I'd buy a computer the size of a IBM server rack if it meant more space and less cost.
