- BradMurray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Google box is a nice concept, but a total rip-off if you want to index a lot of docs. I priced it out for our site so that we could index 50 million images in our database and it was going to cost about 750K. We developed our own search engine on MSSQL for about 7K in software/hardware and another 10K in development.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2very cool, not too kosher with the dell memory though
- Sferrero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting how google goes to all that trouble to keep the end-user out of their hardware. When they encourage "hacking" of their sofware solutions.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Top marks for the worse designed web-page of all time. Great nerd stuff though.
- peerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice
They didn't mention what OS it is using. I'm guessing it is Linux(and assuming the screen shots were taken using web administration on a Windows computer). - mezziah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0". . . every home should have at least one . . ."
- weirdal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, I see
I didn't notice the next page link for some reason - TokenUser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another "very cool" ... perhaps this is what digg needs for searching/article matching?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dag, yo! I want one just so I can get the cool box with all the Google branded crap in it!!
- diggity_dank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Apple uses the google enterprise for search (as far as I can tell) so if you want to see an example the results you can go there.
The nice thing about the mini is that you can return the results as pure XML and style it any way you like. Awesome product at an amazing price. And I got to keep the t-shirt! - anotherjesse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very interesting... though they need to remove the master pages they created from the results -

- shawgo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good times
- doles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow, amazing, a computer with google painted on the side (which btw has been "exposed"/"unlocked" two or three times before). I am confused why this is really interesting at all.
Well, can't wait till they "unlock" what the inside of a Dell looks like next. - Saintly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Weirdal, u forgot to click to the next page...
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm, I think he voided the warranty. :) Very cool, hell, even looks cool.
- jdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very Cool.....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wanted to see how they make it pipe results into the anandtech website templates, bah.
- dbavaria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's obvious there is a computer inside, I think we all new more or less that it was a standard U1 rackmount...But really, tell us whats inside...
I want to know if potentially one could pirate the google search software off that machine and run it on a similar one... - nomad1984, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet it comes with a free t-shirt!
- MilfordCubicle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the pIII's are probably used to keep the price point down. Besides, you don't really need "real balls" to do indexing and such.
- ggriffit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome...kinda strange it uses a PIII...give it some real balls!
- BluParadox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0RTFA weirdal, they do.
Is this a dup or did I just see it on slashdot already? - weirdal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0here I thought they would actually take it apart...
who cares whats in the box?
