a long bamboo skewer also works, and conveniently it’s an insulator, and 
available in packs of 50.

{These too, can be used to encourage good behavior on the part of your user 
base, much like the dental probe, but without the need to drill a hole first. 
And they’re biodegradable!, and you can carry them through the TSA checkpoint}

Subject: Re: [Beowulf] help with cables

My experience - go to your local pharmacy and purchase a dental probe. You use 
it to threaten the switches as in Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man.

Seriously, the dental probe is used for releasing the latches on those cables 
in tight spaces.

I have ordered two flextronic 8 port switches and five topspin dual port HCA's. 
Most of these decisions were a combination of cost limitations (it sits on my 
coffee table) and careful scrutiny of photos on eBay.
Right now I have a great price on an HP SmartArray with controllers.
My first concern is that it will require a 1U machine to manage RAID and my 
next concern is that the controllers will need adapters for the 4x SDR cables 
which I believe will connect to the TopSpins and Flextronics.
Anyone with hands on experience with this '08 gear, please help me out.
