A entire rack for this little project, are we using equipment from 1999?
I couldn't see more then 5U's of spaced used, yet alone a entire rack.
You'll notice that the word rack is in quotation marks. These things right here "".

person said "our "rack"". If you say you have a "rack" that would mean you have a rack.
Renting a entire rack is ALOT different then renting a few U's of rackspace.
In a datacenter with premium bandwidth I could get 2U's for $50 a month, I probably couldn't get a entire rack for less then $1400.

Yes my mind would of blew if you said server room, Considering the smallest server room I'v encountered has over 75 racks and we call that server room "the closet" cause it is so small compared to the others.

I also only originally posted cause It sounded like a embellished truth or lie.
My BS meter went to 100%. My BS meter may be wrong but it would be irresponsible to not say anything. If a member of staff thinks they have something when it may not be the case, they should know. Rogean could be using donations to pay for rack fee's while 90% of the rack is filled with BTC miner equipment mining him some BTC.
Possibile? Yes. Probable? Probably not. But if nobody ever speaks up nobody will ever know

You've never worked for a small engineering company. We have a server at work, it's on a single rack and it's in a 5' x 8' room or something like that. it's called the server room. Oh nos!

So what you're saying is that you have seen people literally keep server racks in a closet?

So now you trying give me shit for calling out something I thought was BS?
I dont read these forums often cause they are mostly filled with garbage(especially the raid rules section) but I have heard that the staff claim they make zero money and they have also said they find the rmt insulting. So I am willing to bet that you with the 1200+ post have read it also. So if somebody is profiting while they say they find it insulting then I think the community should know.

Have a good day Glenzig, I am done talking to you now.

Ok. So apply that to the "rack". Same thing. If they can find a way to make money without ruining the server with things like RMT and cash shops, then I really don't care. Good for them. I highly doubt it though.
