A little while ago I picked up a C7000 enclosure with 16 BL460 G1 blades (2 x dual core CPU and 8GB RAM in each) off ebay for £400 (around $560). I've been playing around with it and have a few different OSs running off a couple of the blades and I'm planning to set up some web hosting, teamspeak servers and a few other odds and ends in the near future. But it's honestly more server power than I'm going to use and I wondered if there was anything useful I could use it for?
Useful? Labs.
Openstack would be cool.
I think Wendell has a Dell blade server doing folding at home.
