I was looking at the site myself earlier. Most of the cost looks to be from
the front panel, and aparently that $995 gets you a pretty bare bones
system. I think the disk controller and stuff is extra.

Any idea how legit they are? I'm tempted to order the metal piece I needfor
the front so I can convert my rack mount case to a tabletop.

Not if the "so cool it's already classic" rule is still in effect :^) Sort
of like a BeBox is more or less ontopic or NeXT HW was a few years ago :^)
