(#439452)
#4 keep thinking of ideas
I'd love to see #2 as a way to open up more choices, but I can't imagine ever using it. Just the shipping charges alone would keep me away.
#1, aren't there plenty of tools that do this already? Or at least they have been built already using Cacti and Ganglia in concert with other tools (Nagios comes to mind).
#3 Maybe. You can compete with very large companies if you find the right viable niche that they aren't interested in.
