Being this a FreeBSD list, I guess one could achieve similar function 
with a rack mountable PC case which can hold 15 SATA disks, an ATX 
motherboard with a dual GE interface and geom_gate.

Of course this works only with FreeBSD, but Linux has its own 
implementation for this task (nbd).

Don't know if it's cheaper or not...

These boxes are cool indeed. :)
