Re: They finally suspended operations

Thanks everybody for your replies.  Several good suggestions, with 
Supermicro, PC Engines, and Netgate.  Although, with the Atom processor 
discontinued, it looks like some of the smaller Supermicro and Netgate 
options are about to go away.

I stumbled across this today:

http://www.bitscope.com/

Anybody have experience with them?  Looks like there is a good support 
community and a lot of info on their website.  I must admit I'm 
definitely intrigued by the Bitscope BR04A.  
(http://my.bitscope.com/store/?p=view&i=product+BR04A)  The idea of a 
Rasberry PI blade with 4 connected systems in a 1U rack is interesting.  
Video, keyboard on the first blade unit.  You can pull/replace 
individual PI boards with the system still running.  Price isn't bad for 
the system, either. (Of course, you still have to buy the PI boards). 
I've never done anything with Raspberry PI, though.

I suppose the biggest drawback (that immediately comes to mind is the 
lack of gigabit ethernet in the PI boards.
