I just purchased a system like this... fail-over services, 1.7TB RAID 5,
3.3 TB (20 Tape) SDLT Changer.  Everything, including new KVM, 24-port
managed GigE switch, and necessary cabling was $55,000.  Could have
saved some money had I gone with IDE HDDs, but this machine needs the
advantages of SCSI.

Just my $0.02.
