Server Inside a Suitcase

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Spleener12 writes "Andrew Larson and Derek Radke have come up with an interesting case mod concept: a fully fledged server inside of a suitcase (originally designed to hold airsoft guns,) complete with a window, neon lights, and plenty of external ports. The case is a result of a summer's worth of research, design, and construction, and they are planning on constructing a few more to sell to any interested buyers."

      4. Use Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse and continue typing code while sitting in your airplane seat w/ the Mac Mini in the cargo bay* 8-)

      * this requires either a good memory or a hacking the inflight-movie to display your code. :-D

    If it weren't for Bush outsourcing all the IT jobs, nobody would NEED a server in their travel bag!

    Come on. If you are taking the time to build a server inside a suitcase and post the story on slashdot please take that extra second to remove any smelly slippers and crumbled brown paperbags out of the way before you take a picture.

    Thank you.

    Am I the only one sick of all these whiners who complain about the articles on Slashdot?

    If you don't like the articles, don't read Slashdot, dammit.

    You people think you're being cool by complaining about /. on /., but you just come off as crybabies.

    I have a Windows Server 2003 laptop I use to irritate the network at school (i.e. make it think it's a domain controller and override all my security settings)
