How about a little backup storage for your system!
« on: June 23, 2007, 09:31:41 AM »
I was all excited when I got an 8Gig USB cigarette lighter drive but I really want one of these in my backyard:


QUOTE
The first Backbox will contain 252 computing systems and boost SLAC's scientific computing capacity by a third. Perhaps more significantly, the Blackbox will solve a facilities challenge, as Building 50, the computing building, is close to maxing out its cooling system and power. SLAC's Blackbox will actually be painted white for energy efficiency.
             *                       *                       *
The 24,000-pound Blackbox will be shipped from Sun's Hillsboro, Oregon manufacturing facilty next week. The Blackbox will plug into the electrical substation behind Building 50 and will get a 10-gigabit networking fiber hookup. A chiller system will be added in August and sit on a second concrete pad and circulate chilled water to the Blackbox's internal cooling system.

I hope the 'secure' that thing well! You know how often we hear about computers being lost! And that thing is made for wheels! eek2.gif

That's a great idea.

Check out the interactive videos and the earthquake test.

I guess "Microsystem" is an oxymoron, or something...
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.
