More Dual Athlon 1U R/M Servers!

Probably not that many of you are interested in rackmount servers for homes, but those of you interested in clustered dual AMD's (ergeorge?), check out <A HREF="http://www.appro.com/1124/index.html" target="_new">Appro's latest product.</A>

Now I thirst for power consumption/heat dissipation specs on that thing. I just have to know...heheHEHeheheh

Wow, 550W power supply in a 1U case! I think the other 1U I posted only had 350W.

On the cooling: It's not really passive. If you look at the specs, they have 4 "radial" (centrifigal?) blowers in the case. I suspect that the case is designed such the the CPU (& northbridge?) heat sinks go all the way to the top cover, and the airflow is routed through them. That's the way it looks <A HREF="http://www.mutmut.com/dev/appro/1124/1124_1UBrochure.pdf" target="_new">here</A>.

Actaully, I wonder if this system might work better then a 2U horizontal case with more typical HSF? Sound's strange, but it may be easier to cool these systems in a 1U case!?

Thanks for the link.

So what?
A 1U rackmount isn't the kind of thing you have sitting under your desk.
