yep, that one server handles all googles work!

Nah, come on - this is an example of one of the servers, and if you have built your OWN box , you can appreciate the simplicity

Joking of course, it is pretty in an efficient way, I've never built an open architecture machine... too duty, I'd need like three HEPA filters just to keep it running lol.

IT takes about three HEPA air filters just to deal with BB's smoking..So we'd need SIX! :wink:

I have built U2 rackmounts, stuff was emplaced to consider airflow over the critical parts. You can't just have an open-architecture - dead air can hover over overheated components. I suppose if you took google's 'PC' set up and mounted it into a closet with forced air - to keep air moving over the components - it would be ideal.. Most Server Rooms are clean-air systems anyways. Cooler than the rest of the building..
