  2. BYO backplane by seanadams.com · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's a similar project I did a couple years ago in case anyone's interested. It's a do-it-yourself backplane for those highly integrated full-length single board computers. I was able to make a pretty cost-effective high density cluser using a single case with nine PCs inside - eight single cpu celerons and a dual PII. There was even some room left over for laptop hard drives between the cards. Total rack space: 6U. You could also fit this in a deep 4U chassis.
