Thank you all for your help so far! I'm getting closer to some conclusions thanks to you!
The speed of my internet connection has been brought up a couple times, I have a T1 connection and plenty of bandwidth.
[...]
� These look great, but I'm thinking I might be able to build something to meet my needs for less money. I have the skills to put a server together and set it up, this is just my first time creating a rig from the ground up. Thoughts?
In answer to your earlier question about memory, if are just pushing files, maybe email and calendars to ten users (usually 2 or three), you probably don't "need" more than 8GB. You could go with 16GB. Don't get the memory from Apple as you will pay a premium. That is an easy cost saver there, but it only costs $400 to take it to 16GB, so on a $25k project, that might not be too much.
I'm not sure what you mean by "T1" for network connection. If it is a traditional T1, that is only about 1.5Mbps - which isn't really that fast. I have 20Mbps down/4 Mbps up from my cable company (but that is for residential use). Up speed is going to be important if you are serving files.
If I were building a rig for a business, I would try to get as much stuff that is turnkey as possible rather than building major parts myself. Time is money and you will spend a lot of time building a rig - and then having to maintain it. You are better off investing in one of the (expensive) arrays listed about (or similar). You just plug it into a rack and your MacPro and you will be good to go. Plus, at least a couple of those listed had redundant power supplies, etc. That is going to give you a lot of confidence in system availability (downtime, which is also money).

iLounge: you can now sync between multiple computers using an iPod, as long as both are authorized on the same account
Oh hell yes. Now this makes me happy.
This is good news indeed. I'm stoked about what's being presented so far today.

That's what they want you to think.
I called an Apple Store today and asked about them, and the guy basically stammered through a very generic corporate response, definitely seemed like he was hiding information.

While it's an interesting concept and lot's of people might end up using it, I don't know if it would serve a great purpose for me. How about an OLED keyboard on the portables... that would be something cool.

The Death Grip is not a myth. I can hold my phone for 20 seconds or so and lose all signal all the way from 5 bars. On top of that, I've had issues importing photos on the phone into iPhone. This is also my second iPhone 4 this month due to said issues.
I just returned my iPhone 4 and got a full refund.
If Apple says there is not an issue, then they have their heads up their a$$es.

BTW, I have always held my phones in the Death Grip fashion. My hearing is much better on my left ear, I can't listen with my right, neither can my sister who is deaf in her right ear.
I have consistently had dropped calls with the way I hold it. I am NOT going to hold it "Different" because of a design flaw. I hold it tight to my left ear (I'm a rightie) and I hold it covering the part people are saying you are not supposed to hold it. Why? Because that is most comfortable for me and the way I have always held it.
You know, this whole iPhone 4 things has been a debacle. The lost phone, the search of a person's computer and home because of it, no iPhone 4 WHITE news, the crappy rollout, the lack of phones and news. The iPhoto problem. It's just tainted any good feelings I've had for the iPhone 4.
On top of that, I HATE the boxy feel of the phone. It's hard to hold and does not fit comfortably and you never know which side is which.
I'm happy with my 3GS now and I'm glad I did not sell it!

I love my black iPhone and will be sticking with it, but can admit the white one looks nice.... Some people are just coming off as bitter that the new shiny device is getting so much attention and making theirs look outdated, even though its the same exact phone with a different color.

Wow, those Digg comments (re the banner photo) have a lot of wasted hopes :D Joysticks? Backlit MacBook non-Pros? Nano playing video? 64-bit image means ALL Macs are now 64-bit? No, none of the above.
All I see NEW there is:
* A black X and Leopard print on the Leopard DVD. Not bad looking.
* Some slogan about making OS X the "dominant platform" maybe? Nice to have something to shoot for ;)
And I see the old tower, which suggests no new case design. (But a collage of products that includes some past or soon-to-be-retired ones isn't 100% impossible at a developer event.)

Not much to report here. Other than a few cosmetic tweaks, it's the same as Tiger for me.
Hope it gets better than this on release.

OMG the telephone is white! OK, can MACrumors focus on macs now and leave iOS devices for a while??
Alright sure, oh nothing to say today about Macs so lets just post nothing. Way to keep the site active :rolleyes:

Scotty has been at Apple working on the formula for transparent aluminum according to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9kTVZiJ3Uc&feature=related). As you can see, the Materials Dept at Apple doesn't get the preview versions of Lion
You can find or make "transparent carbon" already. To make cheap big pieces you need nanotech.
"Transparent aluminium". Meh.

I rarely have anything good to say about AT&T, but this app sounds like a potentially good use of crowdsourcing. The question, of course, is: will this incoming feedback actually be reviewed and acted upon by AT&T, or is this effort primarily to create the "illusion of responsiveness" and make us all just feel better.

Hey how much will OS X Leopard cost?
I just bought my iMac C2D "17 two weeks ago, and I just didn't want to wait until Spring '07 to buy it with Leopard installed on it.
Does Apple offer an upgrade and full versions of the OS X.5?
It would be nice if they offered some type of discount for people who bought their Macs after a certain time frame (Like October '06).
Actually, they do have a discount. My roommate got tiger half price cuz his powerbook was bought less than 3 months ago or something. Just keep those papers and vouchers that came with your Mac.

Nice! I saw a Slightly Stoopid concert when they were up at one of the casinos here in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They are hitting up a few places in Texas soon. Might want to check it out.

Oh and I did manage to get all 4 clients running the the G5. Trying to figure out the PPD on that?

Whoops, missed that.
Well, why wouldn't a Mac recognise 32TB? Of course it will, however, you only get 32TB of usable storage if you configure that device as JBOD or RAID0 (which is bonkers).
But to be honest, the probability that everyone here has got a Mac with that very unit, so that he can tell you specific details is almost zero.
So your best bet is to call the Dulce and ask them anything you want to know.
For $5000 (does it actually include drives? If not, add another $3000) I definitely wouldn't buy that thing without knowing every little detail about it.
In this particular case I was planning on using RAID 5, but the Mac would still need to be able to handle managing 32TB of data.
I am in the process of researching this device and several other mass-storage solutions. This very thread is actually a part of my research because crowd sourcing on a board like this is great for solving a complex IT problem.
