I've slowly been trying to trim down the power use in my machine room,
oweing to astronomical PG&E bills :-(. I'm using those wonderful little
EPIA series mini-itx motherboards (purchased from idot.com) as low/medium
performance servers. They aren't all that fast but one will run a web
site, pop/sendmail, and an ordb nameserver just dandy and can copy files
over NFS at 7MBytes/s. That covers UP systems quite well.
But MP is another story. At some point I would like to put together
some SMP test boxes that don't cost the equivalent of rent on a small
apartment in electricity use. They don't have to be super-fast, they
just need to be SMP. I'm not talking about blade servers here, I'm
talking about SMP boxes for testing purposes.
Anyone have any ideas?
