    And it is a matter of quantity not quality. For example, look at Maxwell's little green men and number of posts

    Oh I see. I don't know about specialized hardware. Sounds like it would be expensive and I'm just a poor IT guy Also I keep forgetting to ask, but what is the little alien looking people under everyone's name and title? I have two green ones and you have green and purple?
    I have purple ones because I'm an Admin here. Comes with the title. Not sure why...

    And the specialized hardware isn't too expensive, at least at the entry level. I picked up a couple little Ant miners a while ago for ~$20 each. Not sure what they are now, but there are some cheap entry options if you're interested. Of course, if you're not interested, then this is a moot point.

    I'd REALLY like to argue this point, but I'm not sure I have much evidence to contradict Bryan's point...

    Oh no you didn't!

    hey it was the first test of the rack under load.

    Turns out it was actually the 30a 208v circuit I blew.

    Yeah, had everything up and running nice and neat in the new datacenter. Distributed between some 30A 208v circuits. (or so I thought). I'm nicely remoting in that night with a cold beer, getting stress tests underway to make sure the HVAC and power are good under stress. Loaded up about 80% of the machines on SAT@Home until they disappeared on me. Poof they vanished from my remote desktop windows.

    Then I got everything fixed up the next day. I was minding my own business winning the Denis@Home challenge until Mumps came in and ruined it for me. Again.
