Yes, but you could fit the whole of the UK into one of your Great Lakes.. so it's all proportional

I guess this is the U.S. vs. European geography talking, but that sounds reasonable to me... heck, we consider myself and Terry in the same region ("Deep South") and he is likely to be at least 4-6 hours away depending upon where in the state he is located.

As we were clearing out the last of the cabinets I ended up with TWO HP DL980s, each with 8, 10 core processors (80 cores total each box) and 1.5 Terabytes of RAM. Yep... I've got 160 cores and 3 terabytes of Ram in two gigantic servers sitting in my garage... That's not all... I also have a Sun/Fujitsu SAN with almost 100 TB of SATA storage and fiber channel connectivity back to the DL980s. This is on top of the HP DL 580 that is already running (4, 10 core processors and 512Mg Ram) and 4 mac minis....
I'd love to do something with the 980s, but short of selling them, I'm at a loss. It's not like I can legally run OS X on them, but -wow- wouldn't that make the world's fastest Indigo box! Realistically I'll have trouble even powering them up as they each have 8 power supplies. Any creative and fun suggestions????
On a side note, it's positively sickening what I scrapped in that DC. Equipment that I dreamed of owning in previous companies was simply tossed into the scrap heap. The technology hoarder in me saved enough that I can no longer park in the garage, but it still made me sad...

For those that may not know, the above is a fork bomb. DON'T RUN IT ON YOUR MAC/LINUX COMPUTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO FREEZE THE SYSTEM AND REBOOT.
