[ale] Need to build a 2U system

[Jim Kinney]

I build from acmemicro.com. Usually Supermicro gear. Picked up decent
gear off ebay. It's possible to get a used 2U case and install new
guts. Fail points are always the same - power supplies and fans. 
I've not found a place locally to Atlanta that stocks rackmount gear.
I have "Run the Atlanta Linux Server Superstore" on my bucket list. But
that's after "Start a brewpub" :-)
Both of those have been surpassed with the realities of "Co-Own a
dojo".

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
