Amongst other things.  Like a GDOI Server, or a JUNOScript jump box complete with development environment.  So many things they could install on a Juniper-labeled PC...

Price aside, anyone who wants a 12U RE needs to have their head 
examined. :) How freaking hard can it be to take an off-the-shelf 1U PC, 
slap a Juniper logo on the front, mark it up 20x like everything else, 
and sell it to us as a fully supported RR? I'm still confused how this 
has managed to escape their attention.
