Thanks for the ping. Nice to see this getting the attention it deserves.

Needs it's own air-conditioned room,. just like the ole mainframes.... Indeed, which makes the "save energy costs" part of that thing kind of silly, honestly. Someone out there may very well have a cabinet that has 280 racks, but I'd bet money that nobody in the world has actually filled them all, or if anyone has, they basically built a meat locker to keep it in. Shave a hundred watts per unit, and then pay it all back with interest by putting in a hundred thousand watts of air conditioner. ;)
