[geeks] Cluster in a box? Interesting item on offer at eBay

[Lionel Peterson]

Desk side is a euphemism for down the hall, in a server rack. I am not foolish
enough to mean desk side literally. ;^)

The actual power consumption is rated at about 285 watts/blade, and the
ability to spin the blades up or down as needed/desired I think it should be
OK.

It is my hope to consolidate down several white box 'servers' into this one
chassis for non-production home lab use...

Once I move to Dallas I don't know what I'll do - the whole 'no basement'
thing is gonna be a problem... I am thinking rack & desk in the garage, but it
can get quite toasty in TX in the summer... Maybe I need to look into 'warm'
data center operation?
