Server Room In Shambles
worklols:
Sadly I can relate to this all to well, there have been times where I have walked into my server room and found chords hanging every which way. My hpc3000 cooling unit is simple so I don’t have to worry about a mess from that. Therefor assuming I can keep it cool with my computer room cooling Unit then I wont have to go in and see the distaster.

This is really neat, and it makes for some cheap tours but it’s crazy to think this is what the world is going towards. Can you imagine this in Rome or even better Vatican City.

The Payoff of going Portable
It may be springtime now but those sweaty 80+ degree days are right around the corner. Are you ready? I know I am now that I’ve got a new cooling technique that lessons my carbon footprint and energy bill.

Those of us that have server’s have them locked away in Rapunzel like towers or rooms, and therefore a mystical phenomena beings where out of sight out of mind. There are very few times in our lives that we feel the need to venture into our server room, typically it is when something has gone wrong and because of this we are often reminded of how important they are when it is to late.
