Chris,
That is a good question and I regret that I don't have an exact
apples to apples answer. The HP DL-380 is a darn good Intel powered
pizza box, I've used a pile of them over the years and their in the
$5-7K range for the hardware alone. What the HP disk array/SAN costs
I've no idea. The data warehouse we're looking to build uses an HP-UX
machine (sorry I don't know the model number, that's the Unix group's
job) and EMC SAN (already in place) but comes in at around $20K. Would
be interesting to get an Exadata machine to play with once ours is
built. Load it with the same data & run the same queries against it.
Results would be real apples to apples.

What are similar costs of a full rack of similar (non-Oracle) equipment
for comparison?

I think it's 600000 for a full rack and half rack 350000
And plus some software license if you dont already own one.
But then again I think this is what Teradata and Netezza costs (or
similar) so I guess it's targeted to very high profile customers
