[Cloud Storage on the Cheap]

Hey All,

Been lurking around for a while...reading..watching..learning...

After the discussion/contests a few months ago regarding the design your own whitebox server for $2000 I figured I would share this and hopefully some of you will get a kick out of this...I know I have a project for the weekend ;-)

Disclaimer: I have never used backblaze, I do not work for them, and had never even heard of them until this article..so it could be complete BS...but it sounds legit and the logic is there...
