Move Over Mini-ITX, Here Comes The gigaQube

Jim Ethanol writes "Since there's been a lot of interest lately in Mini ITX based servers I thought the Slashdot crowd might enjoy checking out Project gigaQube. The gigaQube is a modified Cobalt Qube 2 server appliance with 240 Gigabytes of storage running NetBSD's Mips R5000 based Cobalt port. Cobalt Qube's are quiet, cool looking little (7.25 x 7.25 x 7.75 inch) servers that when modified, make a powerful home server solution. They also seem to have achieved 'fetish' status in Japan. See some gigaQube action shots here, or check its vitals here."

server?

Strapping a drive to the back of a CPU board with ty-wraps is not my idea of building a small server. But whatever floats your boat...

Apple should make a cube.

I bet people would love it.

Wow! Do you know Vin Diesel? You just need to find a third guy named "Alexander Isopropyl" or something and you'd have your own little gang!

Thanks A Lot

Thanks for driving up the price of the Qube I was bidding on on Ebay. I guess I'll have to go put together a mini-ITX box just to spite the article. There should be an Ebay listing that comes with a slashdot article, kinda like the premium listings where you end up at the top of the page, but a lot more expensive...

I love the bong...

Keep an eye out for a bong in the action shots. Just what were these people smoking when they made this?!

That server is cool and everything....

[glowfish]

But man check out that bong on the bottom shelf! When can we see that in action?

That's not a bong, it's a vase! :)
