- jerdfelt 10y agoThese are farms of cheap Linux boxes. They go out of their way to design and manufacture their own motherboards and equipment[1] to reduce their capital and operational expenses. While the motherboard and enclosures are probably custom made, the components inside (CPU, memory, etc) are all "commodity". [1] http://www.opencompute.org/ http://www.opencompute.org/
