Does anyone know of any rumored non-data-center-class coolthreads
hardware? As much as the T1000 and T2000 seem to be fine products,
they are designed for data centers and no doubt put out a lot of
noise (and maybe heat). Yes, I know they outperform noisier, hotter,
pricier quad opteron setups on the right workload, but that's pretty
academic for me - when will there be a machine we can buy for a home
server/workstation? When do we get to play with these things?

No idea, but it would be nice! I'd prefer to see at least the option
of a low noise rackmountable server. Tower cases are OK, but for me a
T2000 is a 4U chassis (read: bigger, and therefore quieter, fans) would
be ideal. I'm starting to think about replacing my E220R with something
that has on-board GBE, but Sun's current rackmount options (if the T1000
and X4200 are anything to go by) are too noisy for my home office
enivironment...
