Realistically, how long should one expect current 1U servers to last?
I'm not overly fond of soprano choral works either, but they're not
_inherent_ to 1u-ism. I have some 1u's with centrifugal fans that are in
their, uh, probably 7th year of service. jeez.
arguably, those chassis couldn't have cooled dual-125W-socket boards,
but modern 50-75W cpus seem to be pretty popular...
A single box is essentially a no-data point, especially in a beowulf
context, but we've got one 1u running, more or less happily, since
early 2000 ;o) It's still booting from it's original 4GB drive :OP
