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."

    I can probably think of about 500 different places to hide a mini-ATX board in about an hour, so who cares? I mean, if they did something that not many people can do, that's one thing. But throwing a motherboard and components into a suitcase is nothing to get excited about. Why did this make it to the front page of slashdot?

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