well, it was 14 disks (it's a model that mounts two more disks in the back),
and the price came straight off HP's website...  (I may have included an IB

if anyone from HP is listening, a model with two quad-core-capable 
sockets would be a good move.  think of it as the perfect map-reduce brick ;)
