We are looking at building a second cluster and I have some physical installation questions. When I was at NASA goddard, I got a look at one of the Beowulf clusters there which had nodes which were just motherboards mounted on rails or a shelf which sat in the rack. Seems great to me to avoid purchasing a case if it isn't really needed - does anyone know any vendors for this sort of a mounting solution? I found this one, but it looks like it includes the motherboards and the rack, while I'd like to just buy the shelves: http://www.kingstarusa.com/co-location/co-location_intelirack21.htm I'd rather not fab my own, although I suppose that is an option. For the above setup, it seems ideal if it could use just one big power supply for the whole cabinet - are there any vendors for something like this? Ideally if it could be a UPS also to provide brown-out power that would be helpful, otherwise I'd have to sacrifice more rack slots to a UPS. Fortunately (and with a lot of help) I've pretty much got hardware and software built and tweaked pretty well for my needs now, so what I need to do for more power is - buy more! Thanks, Paul
