I figure you could create a blade backbone docking device for 12 minis and only take up 5U of space. That's only $2400/1U of rack space. That's not too bad is it? (chuckle) Of course the docking device would add another $5K to the cost so up that cost to $3400/1U. I know there are web hosting companies using older minis so maybe this would be enough for them.
