Yes, this 100%. It was fun (and kind of hilarious) to have an old Dell PowerEdge Server in your dorm room back in college, when power was free. (And, in my case, mostly generated by dams, so not that bad for the environment.)
Keeping one in your house would be ridiculous and loud, though. Mine actually required two power cables! I ended up pawning it off to a friend for $20, who pawned it off to one of his friends for $20, and so forth. I wonder where it is now.
- dymk 7y agoMine went to Goodwill after I graduated from my university. It was a beast in terms of how loud it was. I was able to strike a deal with IT - they'd give me 2U of rack space in the Uni's datacenter and some subdomains in the Uni's .edu. In return, they got a forever grateful undergrad with too much time on his hands.
