I'm pretty sure the lab I work at has a mac server thats mounted in a cabinet.

But of course, we're the university and TDOT is funding the project.

The Xserve packs phenomenal power and industry-leading capabilities into a high-density, 1U rackmount server that fits easily into any network environment. And this award-winning UNIX-based server just got a 5x (1) performance boost over the Xserve G5, thanks to quad-core 64-bit Intel Xeon processing. Additional features include up to 2.25TB storage, two eight-lane PCI Express slots, dual onboard Gigabit Ethernet, and a combo drive. With all this, the Xserve provides the stability you need and the performance you want, starting at just $2999.

lol yeah. $3k is not bad at all for the package, but unless people suddenly start shitting gold ingots into the KG mailbox, i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that system to be installed for the purple peons of knoxgothiness.

KG is not on a mac.

And thus the problem...

do they make macs that are rack mountable?

apache and php do run in os x, and they do it well, but i think that if i used a mac for a 24/7 server, the gui would just have to go - resources and all.

The GUI doesn't do much if you're running headless - but it comes in really handy for admin stuff.

And we WOULD be running these if we could afford them. The KG server is a much lower-end machine.

Today's attempt at the upgrade failed again, I'll try again later in the week.

need a server or 2? i have a few compaq DL360's and a proliant 3000.
