I would never have thought that i would find an article about Anandtechs server farm interesting but I have thoroughly enjoyed each of them. What i wouldn't give to get to play with a tenth of the hardware they are using.

What!!! he didn't want to spend $25,000 on hardware, I thought Anand was made of money :D

very cool though, and an excellent article, well written and plenty of pictures!!!

Actually I want to have the same kind of setup at my house one day :)

awesome article anand.
I would be building some servers at work and we are going the AMD way, with a SOYO mobo with PC133 chips, these arent webservers rather file servers holding 600GB of data on external scsi drive. The drives are from Medea Corp.. we already have quite a few of them.. they are reliable enough for us, though the other machines run raid 0 externally .. this one wont be raided externally, just the internal raid will be used.

I am really impressed by their servers and the amount they have, I wonder if they all belong to anand, if they do then I HATE HIM! jk I like boi wonder. BTW Anand can you give me a couple of your servers and your bmw, thanks :)

p.s. I agree aquaman those racks are VERY nice, I want to grab them and hold them and cuddle them and play with them and squeeze them and use them for my &quot;pleasures&quot;... time to go to the bathroom...

Hehe, check out this tidbit on page 4:


<< So when an AnandTech Web Server prepares Page 5 of our AMD 760MP Review and sends it off to you, it sends it through its own network cards directly to you and not through the load balancer. >>
