You can get a Dell with stuff like that for $3000. It's not *that* 
expensive. You can get a 4T hard drive case for like $250 or something 
(without the 4T of drives, of course).

Or buy a Tandem computer, where when a part fails, it dials up Tandem, 
and they ship you a new one with instructions on where to put it, before 
you even know it failed.

The ones that boggle my mind are the ones where you can upgrade the OS 
without stopping any of the programs.  I'm not quite sure how that works.
