Hair pie?
TBH, sounds like an interesting idea... lol
If you can afford to Colo that then you are in the wrong business my friend
Besides not sure what I would do with it anymore.
Ok ok two words then Rasferry PI
it actually remind me the classic mini itx cluster project http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/cluster/ and https://oxynux.org/wiki/projects/cluster/start
and the raspi cluster http://www.southampton.ac.uk/mediacentre/features/raspberry_pi_supercomputer.shtml
not sure raspi io is fast enough for lowend vps need.
I hope that people didn't think I was going to do this in any time in the near future...
Well you could start a combo business, laptop-pi for laptop and raspberry pi hosting, see which one makes you those most money you know. Oh and yah I thought you were super serial!
If you want... our Atoms (and all atoms all others offer, with the exception of Supermicro users) are basically netbooks without display...
@AuroraZ Not sure what to make of this so many ways to go with that. I am guessing your married.
Sad to say not anymore man. It is the other reason. Had an accident about 10 years ago and things don't work right anymore. Don't waste pity or sadness on me though I am not and don't have time for it. Life is what you make of it and you move on.
I'm not sure heat would be a primary reason why laptop hosting is a terrible idea. Every datacenter I've visited have been between needing a coat to about 70F. You could probably shove 4-6 laptops into a empty 1U chassis with 8+8 fans passing cold air through like a wind tunnel.
Also, a Raspberry Pi is slower than the worst VPS you've ever had.
My little Asus Netbook is left on 24/7, however, I removed the battery so it doesn't die.. xD
I remember seeing a documentary on Google that showed what their servers (at the time) looked like; a piece of plywood(?) with a motherboard and battery attached to it. They would slide it in to place and plug in the network and power cables and were off and running. Might be able to do something like that with Atom boards that are using DC already; could use desktop UPS batteries or something. Just a thought.
I'm here!
Don't waste space with laptop - Android WebServer is better !!!

Is that "VPS" $4/month or $4/year? :P I would totally bite for $4/year even if just to add to my collection as a LEB
. No joke. PM me if you're interested.
