Very interesting figures indeed. Not sure about the water cooling stuff,
does that come in "standard", or did you build and tweak your server
yourself? Up to now, I was thinking about an off-the-shelf server, maybe
the best approach is to build it myself (actually get some people here
build it themselves!)
I would have another question concerning the CPU, Does anyone know how
the Xeon E5 compare to the i7 in this context (build server and yocto)?
