I'd be interested, especially if actual numbers are shown - I assuming 'smoking' is a good thing in a server, rather than something to be concerned about....

As far as price goes, the storage is $13,000 dollars for 5.6tb of disks, a dual proc xserve g5 is $4000 so I imagine the price tag is under $30,000 for the hardware (and some large figure for the software)

Daniel did remark on the speed of the storage on c.d.o.s, which given that the storage is either 7 or 14 ATA devices I find a little unlikely.
