They didn’t plan for ventilation for all the hardware, so they cooled the server room with a garbage can full of ice!
In the video, he said they had no money for it, but that is quite possibly the most expensive way to cool a server.
- Fripplebubby 10y agoSounds like they had a restaurant-grade ice maker already, so it may not have been any further sunk cost to get the ice. Probably lost some of that in electricity and water bills!
- Kenji 10y agoI think you underestimate how much energy it takes to cool down and freeze water and how inefficient it is to simply place that near the server.
