When I originally saw this thread I didn't think much about it but given my experience, it makes sense. I'm not sure that there's a place in the market for the Net6801. Consider that there are several Intel Atom based machines which are only slightly more expensive than the current Net6501-70. Many of these machines are based on motherboards designed by and build by or for Intel. These machines take commodity RAM and Power Supplies so they are cheaper to initially configure and to maintain.
Purchase cost in order:
Net6501-50, standard case: ....................... $346 / $163
Net6501-70, standard case: ....................... $470 / $39
Net6501-50, 1U case: ............................. $473 / $36
SuperMicro SYS-5018A-FTN4, 1U case, no RAM: ...... $509 / ----
Net6501-70, 1U case: ............................. $597 / -$88
The problem with the Net6801 is that there is no price point for it.
