Paying tribute to the beauty of the Apple Xserve. We have a rack in our datacentre I usually think of as our legacy rack. There are six still present, though they are all powered down. Two or three had their backplanes swapped from raid to passthru so they could run ESXi. I have another 3 at home but similarly they are all powered down. They eat a lot of power and make a lot of noise but I remember them purring away in the old MDF running ALL THE SERVICES back when I was in highschool as a tech TA.
