- matthews3 11mo agoFans can move a lot more air than convection.
- 3eb7988a1663 11mo agoWhy are they still even in the cases? I would assume that shucking them would ever so slightly improve thermals.
- joahua 11mo agoAluminium designed in as heat sink perhaps? But not sure if this is so relevant in an actively cooled DC setting as passive buried under cables at a home workspace!
- itrash 11mo agoWe were a little team, doing the API dev, the infra, the hardware and countless things. The product is improving and it was impossible to even imagine remoing the case as we spent so many time wiring everything, going to DC and setting up everything. Yes the team is actually doing all of this, even going to DC installing the macs in the racks. But I agree that for a big scale, this is a good solution. (cf: github)
- ey3ball 11mo agoAgree, removing the case is a lot of effort. Github does a lot of fancy things but you might want to consider how much they're charging by the minute as well Our way is quite efficient & we're able to quickly adapt to new HW gens
