colo
I'll host your guy's laptops for $10/Month on my dedicated 100Mbps line, that's only being used by 1 idle server.
@jcaleb sure, remote hands is $5 per incident if you ship us a part we'll have it installed within two business days.
time to take out my good ol Dell Latitude C60 from closet and purchase a battery for it
EDIT: I didn't read the full thread =P
Haha. Not accepting any laptops for colo or dedicated renting right now and don't plan to until we have a datacenter to ourself.
@shovehost you remind me of that mtwiscool guy.
not sure what's the point of this topic. cesspit?
Dumbest idea I've ever seen...
Like, really. You know those laptops will just die. Then you'll have pissed off customers, its very hard to keep a laptop on 24/7 doing processes and keeping it cool, you'd have to have fans cooling them down .
Getting a bit crazy now are we? I'll have to agree with @Jacob you're reminding me of mtwiscool guy.
Fans to cool them down? He'll need AC's, lots of AC's. My i5 laptop gets so hot on 100% load, that I can fry eggs on the chasis.
Not cost efficient, why pay for the built in screen when you don't need it for a server.
Mine gets warmer when using only about 1/4 of the CPU, there'd be some issues with using 4/4 of it 24/7 as a server
I can see it next... "After laptophosting failed, we made colodog, where you don't colocate servers... You colo your pets. They'll be fed 24/7 with premium 100Mbit/s to keep them healthy, they will be able to roam around plus they'll get a free harddrive and ram upgrade!"
Seriously, what would be a benefit from a kimsufi?
disassemble laptop, remove un-needed part, create super lowend computing from 10-20 boards, you can also replace laptop battery with bigger amp battery, do what ever you want and then throw it to the garbage.
And laptops with broken screens are plentiful.
hey why not just get some origional xbox's can pick them up cheap now and they stack pretty nicley. Heck can probably run game servers off them due to the built in graphics card!
Game servers don't need graphics cards.....
lol
That's my testing machine at home, infact it currently also has XBMC installed on it so I can control movie playback over the wifi with android phones.
There's an app for that? Tell me please
It's part of XBMC buddy.
Look on android for XBMC remote
@MiguelQ
Any issues, let me know..
I never cared to search for one since the mce remote works fine, still it might come handy some day. Thanks!
iPod touch colo. Better than half these laptops anyway...
That is all.
@Damian I know but might get better performance :P
Well I don't know, I have never been a game server guy.
One word ....... PI
ya I like .... pi
