Spawn of Satan

I really really wish they would stop designing these rather dapper looking monitors, then ruining them by attaching speakers. If I want a pair of speakers, I'll bloody well go and buy a pair of speakers. They probably sound worse than the case-speaker in this early 90's abomination that's sitting in my garage.

Naming Key...

Ok, here is the schema...from the left.

First Character (always a letter):
t=tower, r=rack, m=a blade

Next (Always a #):
The relative performance level of the server. (i.e. 9 is the most powerful...$$$, 3=enough for some applications...easy on the pocket book)

Next (Always a #):
Think of this loosly as the revision or generation of the server

Last (a #):

0 = Intel
5 = AMD

Hope this helps. Good things to come...

Flawed idea

Looks all purty but with the bezel looking like it sits so far proud of the rack it's going to cause some problems with rack doors.

2850...2950...2A50?

The Dell naming scheme always was 2XXX for 2U servers, but they kept incrementing the second digit until they ran out. What's the next model (ostensibly this handsomely-fronted example) going to be called?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
