A One Year Redux On The Basement Computer Room For Benchmarking 50+ Systems Daily @ Phoronix
I find build articles showing massive transformations to be rather interesting. Sure, we can all build custom computers or DIY water loops until our fingers fall off but putting together a full home theater or server room in your basement is 98% fresh in my book.
Phoronix has an interesting article posted about how they built a testing room in their basement and even redirected the exhaust heat to keep the home warm in the winter.
It was just over one year ago that I wrote about turning a basement into a big Linux server room (and then the six month redux). With having just finished tiling the floor and making some other modifications, here is a one-year look at the project where there are more than fifty systems running Linux/open-source benchmarks daily as part of Phoronix, OpenBenchmarking.org, and LinuxBenchmarking.com, among other Phoronix Media efforts for enriching the Linux hardware experience.
I used to do similar articles back when the Ninjalane Labs was new. Maybe it is time for a remodel.
