Quote: Originally posted by Socrates I'm confused. I also have an EE degree, but perhaps I don't remember it as well as I thought: I was under the impression that the law of conservation of energy imply that the heat produced by a computer per un…

Quote: Originally posted by Socrates So if I were you, I'd worry about ventilation, and not how big your server boxes are. Socrates That was all we were concerend about (cooling)...however, the 1750's and the 2600's are the only servers wi…

We are measuring the actual ROOM temperature...which is what is puzzling. During our spare time we may try and figure out what is going on Cause you know that funny thing about energy...

If Apple's G5 hardware could run Linux (not just Yellow Dog) natively could it run Windows as well? Hmmmm...

Quote: Originally posted by @homenow I may be showing my ignorance here, but if you are measuring the air output from the exhaust you are not measuring the heat generated by the CPU's but rather the heat transfered to the air that is coming out o…

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown Then how are you measuring that heat? How many BTUs do the 2U and 1U boxes pump out per hour for instance? I wish we really know emphatically the exact number. I was talking about this with one …

Quote: Originally posted by dfiler People are attempting to clarify and slightly ammend your description of the physics involved. They are pointing out the difference between heat and temperature. While a smaller box may run hotter. This isn't sy…

Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 You have me really interested in how you came up with this conclusion. Was it by measuring AC power input into the units? The machine will not create heat on its own, any heat dissipated is the result o…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL We're quite happy with them (we have two more than you see). The Xserve RAID is only connected to one of the servers which acts as an image server processing lots of images all day long. Are you processing imag…

Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 No; I'm very much correct. Given your example, the same 100 watt heater generates equal amounts of heat in both rooms. How the rooms deal with that generated heat is dependant on the design of the room…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL I would prefer to se them added to this: Have you been happy with the servers? How about the storage array? Are you running a switched fiber array?

Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 Sorry I must have misunderstood this line: It may feel like the unit is dissipating more heat, but they only thing really happening is that the heat is removed through a smaller vent, usually at a high veloci…

Maybe we will have some G5's in this cabinet very soon

Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 The size of the case does not impact heat production!!!!!!!!! Dave I never said it did...however, it does impact heat dissipation...but I am sure you knew that

My guess is that we will see dual 2Us and quad 4U's. 8 way would need to be 6/7U or more IMHO.
