How about we all pitch in?
I mean, we’re talking about machines with dual quad-core CPUs and 16 GB of RAM,
for $150 each.
Chris, you’re certain this will only cost that much? Why? Are these Core2 and
DDR2?
We can get 16 people to sort of proxy this by each buying one unit, and
possibly sell them to SkullSpace as decisions and budgets allow.
Heck, I’d put in for a few, and that’ll lessen the number of people needed.

I agree with buying the 3000 system and not the cr*** Dell systems. I will
even pay for the systems if I get this new job.
Any question or comments you can email or call me at any time.
I will get back to you as fast as I can.
Thank you and have a nice day!!

@ayecee the ROI is theoretical, not actual. The savings will be in our
landlord's power bill, not our own pocket. Perhaps if we could document this
power reduction, we could use that information in rent negotiations?
@ayecee, @Daniel, with a blade center, we would have iLo management and
BladeCenter management interfaces available for remotely doing operations like
putting ISO files into virtual-DVD drives, pressing power buttons, changing
switching fabric, etc... The blade center systems are designed to only ever
require human onsite presence for initial setup, replacing failed (redundant)
hardware, upgrades, or decommissioning.

Yes, Mark runs a VM server. It runs noisy and hot even when lightly loaded,
and when your VM stops working, you can't go to the space and kick it.
I'm presently unable to login to my account on it, and some day I'll get
around to rectifying that.

Guess that's why I'm used to DC power. heh.
Doesn't Skullspace have some sort of VM thing running? Wasn't someone
working on that?

We do not have DC power available. That would be more typical of telco
installations.
DC servers run cooler because the AC/DC is handled further upstream,
but the power usage is roughly the same.
@chris - how are you calculating the ROI? If we're not including power
usage, where does the extra income figure in?
