Fans move air. Datacenter air is cooled. And nobody said you had to
get dual xeon 3.8's and 4 15000 RPM drives. Taking an extreme case as
an example doesn't mean having 4 drives is a flawed concept, it means
you are making shit up and need a strawman now to distract from that
fact.

Or get a nice whitebox where someone has thought about the wiring and
how to get rid of the heat. Now you get the best of both worlds.
There's nothing wrong with sticking to names you trust if you don't have
time to verify hardware for yourself, but dismissing anything without a
dell sticker on it as unreliable is retarded.
