"it's an era when RAID controllers were the size of a modern day sound card"

That doesn't make much sense to me. For those that don't just use what's on the motherboard, even PCI cards are pretty small. RAID controllers that I remember, OTOH, were pretty beefy.

Regardless, cool looking place. I'm glad they're able to make a go of it.

I love that comparison. "Wait, sound card? Don't those come on the motherboard? Isn't the RAID controller on the motherboard, too?"

In five years, add video cards, RAM, and SSD to the list. Only old people (you will be assimilated) and nerds beyond gamers will understand the references.
