[ale] Tower to Rack conversion

[Chris Fowler]

One more thing.


http://www.rackable.com  It might cost a little extra, but they have 4 in 1
servers.  4 computers in 1U of space.  I've used their equipment with Linux
and have been satisfied.

Subject: [ale] Tower to Rack conversion


Is there an easy way to convert a tower based server to rackmount using
a kit?  Does anyone have such a kit available?

A friend who is looking at moving his business from NT/IIS/MS-SQL/ASP to
LAMP or some such setup is currently looking to move his servers to a
colocation facility.  He has to get 4 servers (3 staging servers, 1
production) into as small a space as is doable on a low budget.  He has
suggested a conversion kit idea, but I don't know much about racks and
building rack based servers.  Any ideas here?  He uses about 20Gb
bandwidth per month and would like to keep the monthly bill below
$500/month.  I think he has talked to Qwest and is thinking over the
deal.  Thanks,
Dow
