Subject: Commercial Servers vs. Consumer Grade Hardware
Hi,

During a past thread someone talked about commercial servers being noisy
and using a lot of electricity. I assume the electricity usage would
mean more heat as well.

Was this a home lab/office statement or was it a general overall
statement?

This begs the question why not use consumer grade hardware in a data
center instead of noisy and hot commercial equipment that also use more
electricity?

Thanks!!
Keith
