OK. This is pretty cool, actually. Google has been building their own servers
for a long time now, apparently, but they've been keeping the lid on it. It
reminds me of Sun's Modular Datacenter.

As we were talking about the idea of cost and benefit, what kind of margins
could one pull with this kind of system?
have a day.yad
