Sounds a bit expensive. Why can't I just buy my own Gigabit fiber card
on a custon box:?
I see gigabit fiber cards for under $200 on pricewatch.. is there a
trick with fiber? What is the maximum bandwidth I could hope to get
from IDE or Scsi? Im guessing that the cost of fiber switches is
what makes it costly.
