and now for something completely different...

Hey all, this is Michael writing. I couldn't resist showing off the server we bought to run our systems, so I hacked into Kristin's site and blog to post this article while she was out of town at a conference. I know it doesn't seem animal-related, but how do you think we're going to run this business? I know there's at least a couple geeks checking this site (you know who you are) so everyone else feel free to tune out until Kristin gets back...

...okay are we safe? Check it out - I know we've got racks full of these things where I work, but having our very own in the living room is just TOO cool. Take a look...

and a peek under the cover...

...it's so clean, so sleek, and so simple. Hard to imagine it's such a relentless ass-kicking homocidal monster of a machine:

  • 2GHz Quad-Core Xeon E5335 (with room for one more... hmmm....)
  • 1333MHz bus speed
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 146GB SAS 10K RPM, Mirrored RAID
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • 700W Power Supply

Plus all the other good server stuff you'd expect... dual power supply, "Lights Out" out-of-band management - plus, it's quiet, energy-efficient, and all fits in only 1U rack height!

Okay quit staring with your jaw hanging open. Don't even think about it!

(p.s. I think you're drooling a little bit)

OK - I need to get a pet so that all of the blog entries are as fun for me as this one! I know you guys weren't PLANNING on having a Maryland constituency, however I had to send this to some friends!

Yes thanks I like the color too. I chose "Belle Grove Valley Fog" which is sort of a cool grey, it's going to contrast fabulously with the server rack I picked out in "Coral Passion" with "Aqua Glow" highlights.

I'm still surprised though that they only offer 42 designer colors, i mean, c'mon people where's the selection?!? Work with me here!

Jean, that's why I said:

"so everyone else feel free to tune out until Kristin gets back..."

apparently you disobeyed, and now you're suffering the related confusion. you were warned!! Smile
