Yes you can now buy your server in Purple, green, blue, or orange. Not that it will matter since you will never be looking at it. But hey, you can tell all of your friends that you have an awsome looking iToilet. ;)

Apple stopped all the candy color stuff, thank god.
I really like my mac, but for hosting, there is no need to pay the Apple premium when a free OS and free software does exactly what I need it to do.
I am kinda curious to see the creature. An Apple rack mount. Weird.

I am very interested to see how they will price them, if the use the traditional Mac pricing no one will buy them. Do many people buy servers on thier coolness factor? :)

Can I buy an account on one of the servers? I'll be able to display the "Proudly hosted by a colourfull iRack" on my website :D

Woah, great graphics work. This guy must charge a ton for his work. I think the cobalt chasis look nice even though allot of us will never see it cause it stuck in a dark cabinet. I am sure a picture of a few cabinets stack with apple servers would look nice on a full page ad though.
