You hit the nail on the head by detailing what I was trying to convey in my very brief post. Someone saying, "I just need a KVM, why can't I buy [insert dirt cheap option here]? Why do I need to spend $x,000?" Well for some applications, it might be fine, but it all depends on the application of said device and how much frustration you're willing to live with.

Across classes, as opposed to within the class. That is to say, MOST servers that cost $1000-3000 are different enough from the ones costing $6000-$15000 that the sentiment is correct. However, *within* the same class of system or machine or device -- within the tier 1 level, or within the tier 2 level -- it is possible for cost alone to be insufficient as a determinant of quality or value. I'd never compare a Belkin with an Avocent, except maybe at the very lowest end of the Avocent line. TrendNet, Belkin, and a few others play in that consumer/SOHO space, and within that space price is not always the differentiator. While Avocent and Raritan are much more price comparable today, years ago, Cybex/Avocent was better priced that Raritan AND of better quality. But they were in the same enterprise level class... :) And I still greatly prefer Avocent. ASB (My XeeSM Profile)<http://xeesm.com/AndrewBaker> Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...
