Duct tape server II gets proudly introduced
Don't deny it -- you totally blew the original Duct Tape Server off as some one-off project created after a hard night of truth or dare, but the DTS team is out to prove that this here is no fad. Just this week the DTS II (that's Duct Tape Server II for those who prefer things broken down) was introduced shortly after DTS I came unglued. Reportedly, this unit will be on server row at MillionManLan and will pack a 2.2GHz Pentium 4, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive and a few fans to keep things breezy. Hit up the read link for a slew of build shots, and click on through for a quick video.



















If duct tape fixes everything, what will fix this when it breaks?
that's the thing.....it won't break cause it already has all the duct tape it can muster.
there can always be more duct tape
Duct tape is like the force; it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
@Tim
Real fucking original
Great, now the Japanese are going to start making them out of Rice paper and Balsa wood just to compete.

@ Tom
The response was relevant to the thread, just not your individual post. And if you are that sensitive to it, you know the simple remedy to that.

@Tom: The answer is more duct tape, of course.
LOL thats Fucking sweet.
"Cover your left eye and read the second line from the bottom."
Quick the server is down, give me a roll of duct tape and a wadge of chewing gum!
DUCK TAPE SERVER silly name
DUCT tape server, silly Fuzo.
El Taco, silly name
I've seen duct tape wallets, duct tape purses, and now this...the second iteration of the duct tape server.
For what they probably spent on 11 or 12 rolls of duct tape they could have bought a cheap PC case with a fan.
I don't really think this was about saving money you know.
11 or 12 dollars?
I think Nashua duct tape costs more than $1/roll. Probably at least $3/roll.
Why do dogs lick their own bollocks?
dogs lick their bollocks all day because, well to be honest...if you could spend all day licking your bollocks, wouldnt you? it would simply be one the best things on earth. the dogs bollocks.
as for duct tape, its easily $1 a roll.
Unlike with a cheap case, you cannot cut your finger on duct tape, so this one still wins -)
The duct tape at my warehouse is 12 bucks a roll.
That must be some amazing duct tape for $12 a roll. Shit that's almost 3 gallons of gas!
I think it has alot to do with being cheap, didn't you see the Bush beer in one photo? totally
Some people have way too much time on their hands...
Having said that, this thing is pretty cool!
They might have made a server out of duct tape, but I bet they'll never make duct tape out of a server!

Dillon: You watch TV too?
OMG thats awesome
What does this Drobo offer me over, say, a train... which I could also easily afford?
That's... not... amazing..
Is there anythhing duct tape cant do?
Ya, play doom.
Yeah, but it can play Pong, so we're good.
Does it have a touchscreen?
Yes, but your fingers stick to it.
Where's the bailing wire router?
way better than a cardboard box server.

Patch Tuesday gets a completely different meaning
It seriously took me like 5 minutes to figure out what the letters on the side meant.. I was like "TBT, EOA, AOP, MME?" Is that a vision chart or some new way of displaying specs? wtf? ( Is there a remedial version of Engadget available for people with my needs?)

So is duct tape fire proof ? can't say i'd be very confident leaving a server running 24/7 in a potentially meltable case that would burn my flat down and kill my cats .....
Oh noes! My cpu heat lit the side of fire! Wait I got more ducktap. FIN!
duct tape.
Prof.X here, I saw we had some questions/statements regarding the thermal issues of the DTS2
DTS2 ran for 4 days straight and had no thermal issues, In fact I think due in large part to both the volume of the new case and the 120mm fan in the front the thermal peaks in all three areas rarely made it over 31c with an average of 28c.
We'll keep you guys up to date on any DTS developments.
ah, this is rediculous.
somebody had plenty of time on their hands.
