Even knowing that it's impractical for any real use-case I have, I really want a Supermicro SC101F. Like look at it! Adorable!
one honk maybe more

@robinwhittleton Oh I 100% assume this thing would make mad noise when it wants to, but given you can't really put anything higher than 30W in it. It _surely_ can't be that bad

@benjojo Recently I am in love with some of the dell Wyse thinclients. I am running a lab full of containers on a 5070 with an SSD fitted, and it even runs qemu for a Mikrotik VM, happily inside 9 watts. It's making me reconsider a lot of what I'm doing.

@0x47df Yeah, The thin clients are amazing for the most part. EMF-IX uses them (and will be this year): https://web.archive.org/web/20230324131147/https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Village:EMF-IX (Seemingly the @emf old wikis are all gone now, RIP, Had to search for it on the IA)

@0x47df Some hairtrigger BMC that goes from "basically no noise" to "first stage of a weapons system" with a 2c difference

@benjojo This reminds me of the Supermicro BigTwin chassis which actually has its use cases 😁 My 2nd employer had those with 4 blades in 2U deployed for high density virtualization. I am still dreaming of a private super dense colo setup with one of those and... also two SN2010 (saw it in a customer rack a while ago and asked them about it), but the BigTwin doesn't allow for aftermarket hardware (I don't know if that form factor for those blades even has an official name) and costs...

@wrmsr bgp.tools already looks a little bit like what you are describing. I picked up a 2U4N type machine (that I use for the bgp collectors) and coming in a few days is a SN2010! It's a bit of a hair dryer at the hot aisle though! Turns out if you put a lot of compute in 2U, it jets out some serious hot air!

@jeroen these are 512G DDR4 / 2S Intel 4116's, 4 nodes in 2U, I'm not really sure how more dense you can get!

@benjojo We used to use a pair of these for running the RIPE Meeting network (now we upgraded to a slightly bigger E300). It is particularly handy if you want to bring your server in the cabin luggage before the truck with the rest of the stuff arrives.
