I don't blame your eyes. All of us server enthusiasts here cannot resist some sexy server porn every now and then!
In my previous Server Porn thread, you guys asked for more, so here is my latest batch to share for you, for your entertainment!
Meet Melissa - our beloved receptionist, eagerly awaiting the shipment to arrive!
And then the wait was over - the delivery guys arrived to our datacenter in downtown Los Angeles and it was time for the fun to begin!
Intel Xeon E3-1241v3 Processors

We only use enterprise drives! Seagate Constellation ES.3 HDD's
More HDD love! Fun fact: Did you know the Seagate Constellation ES.3's have 128MB of cache?
Hot-Swap Trays
Hot-Swap Chassis allows you to replace drives without downtime!
RAM
Heat sinks 
RAM and Heat Sinks.
The Final Picture?
40x servers, a full cabinet of E3's. Enough said.

Send one my way.
$7$8, I pay PayPal feesShe's cute
Finally some good CPU's! rather than the slow E5's
I bet Melissa is really happy about featuring in a PORN thread
Dunno about US, but in the UK that could be a very expensive post
I totally agree, I can see the lawsuit right now.
When you go through the door on the first picture:
Yes sir!! The E3-1241v3's are very powerful and I have so much love and respect for them myself! The only drawback is it is limited to 32GB of RAM, so 95% of the time you will likely run out of RAM before you maximize the full power of the processor itself
But the E3's are definitely a very good value.
The E5's are extremely powerful (especially when 2x processors are placed in a server) as well and can be used with a large amount of RAM.
To anyone else that gets this reference
if I call customer support, will melissa pick up?
You...stop that
@Bruce @MarkTurned do people in UK really take these things so seriously? You can't even joke because you fear lawsuits?
I want Melissa's phone number.
I'll call her and ask if this thread is ok
110% you cannot joke with someone. this is very serious. that's not my opinion, that's just a fact of how it works in Europe
Got to be careful over this stuff..
So what you are saying is nearly everyone in Europe is not loyal to their employer and obviously can't take a joke?
If so the rules which "govern" you are pathetic.
I'm in Europe too and i don't see any problem with the picture or with the comments below the picture.
I think the "political correctness" bullshit in some countries has gone WAY too far. Soon you won't be able to speak with anyone at all, because any word could offend the other party and result in a lawsuit.
This topic has gone off-topic pretty quickly... but I'm enjoying it
For those who'd like to meet our team in-person and are located within the Los Angeles area, PM me and let's setup a datacenter tour, and we'll hook you up with a free QuadraNet mousepads and 8GB USB stick too!
Thanks!
Yes it has! But I am enjoying enjoying the server porn and I am sure everyone else is to!
For an employer/co-worker to be publicly 'degrading' another, that could be construed harassment, defamation or anything.
Employers can get sued for everything in the UK.
Its just the get rich quick mentality, find someone to sue for whatever, sue and hope to get an out of court settlement. The mother of a friend of mine was in Tesco (supermarket) and she was reaching for some soft drinks on a high shelf and they came down on top of her, she's off suing Tesco for everything. Ludicrous.
yes, they are nuts. so OTT now. political correctness gone mad
the photo is fine. the comments are fine. but all you need is a savvy person suggest "you can get £100K for that" and the next thing you know you're facing legal action. The issue is the girl being associated with porn. that's all it takes. she only needs to claim she felt unhappy about it, work colleagues tease her "about being posted as porn", and bingo it's easier for a company to pay out than go to court.
Can we stay on topic please? I took these pictures as a courtesy as many of you have requested I continue to post more. If you guys don't want to see it anymore, then let me know. I listen to YOUR feedback, this community means a lot to me which is why I try to contribute in any way I can.
To clarify, all pictures posted in my threads all have consent and permission to be posted. I would not post something that I didn't have permission to share.
Thanks!
the photos are great. please keep sharing
mods can delete my OT comments if needed
post moar of melissa
what? That's on topic
I bet that the freebies are were meant to just sit on our desks and mock us of the shipments you keep getting over there...
It buu-uuu-uuu-rrns...
If only LA wasn't a six hour drive for me, I'd show up just for the USB stick lol.
What if it's only 1 gig? :P
Maybe you get the mouse to the mousepad aswell.
Oh... My... God... That's insane amount of hardware. I bet they use a shit-ton of wattage when all of them are running.
Awesome stuff! Now when do we get to see them with their colorful lights?
I could really use a mousepad, but sadly am not even close to near XD
