That's the funny thing about the server market, Steve, companies just don't buy them as often.
For example not a year goes by I'm not replacing scores of Apple desktops, iMacs, MacPros, Minis for all our users.
Meanwhile, the Xserves in the server rack are older than most of my friends' kids. There's no business case for replacing them as they do exactly what we need.
I understand all that Steve. The part I'd like you to understand is how creeped out my sysadmins get when we have to stuff our server racks with ill-fitting boxes such as Mini-servers and full-sized towers. I'd expect a company that pays as much attention to aesthetics and design to have at least picked up on that by now.
