Thank you John, that is what I think all the time. But as it is a play-project where he tries to get that trash running at all (...) btw, I looked it up for you guys, my toaster has 1,2KW, my water-cooker was the one with 2,2KW ;-) In the HP-blade-configurator, one blade-server that you described has 141W, but 2 with an enclosure with 2 PDU needs 625W AC-in max. I am sure you can expect real power-consumption far below that. mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Freund ------------------------------------------- Christian Freund - freund at wrz.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von John R Pierce Betreff: Re: [CentOS] Old HP Xeon server blade with only SCSI HDD ports & CentOS I've retired all the older xeon "P4" class hardware from my development lab as its increasingly unreliable as it gets older than 5 years old. a huge 6000 watt chassis of 8 dual single core servers with 8gb max ram each can *easily* be replaced with a single 1U or 2U server with dual 8 core processors and 128gb ram and vmware or whatever. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
