It seems like the need for better granularity in webhosting horsepower is/was better suited by virtualization. Cute little things, though.

I wonder how many of these they sold.

Even considering they were never sold to the public, I doubt Dell sold many.

They have the same fatal flaw as SeaMicro's "hundreds of Atom CPUs in a big box" servers: lack of ECC RAM support. Also, I doubt they were cost competitive with conventional 1- or 2-socket 1U servers with Opteron EE or Xeon ULV CPUs.
