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?

[Ace b @ Jul 5th 2008 5:09PM]

that's the thing.....it won't break cause it already has all the duct tape it can muster.

[o29 @ Jul 5th 2008 8:08PM]

there can always be more duct tape

[Tim @ Jul 5th 2008 9:31PM]

Duct tape is like the force; it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

[El Taco @ Jul 5th 2008 10:42PM]

@Tim

Real fucking original

[Blackstar @ Jul 5th 2008 11:42PM]

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.

Welcome to Engadget.

@Tom: The answer is more duct tape, of course.

[Pedo Bear @ Jul 5th 2008 4:11PM]

[Blaine Oliver @ Jul 5th 2008 4:17PM]

Quick the server is down, give me a roll of duct tape and a wadge of chewing gum!

[Fusion Fuzo @ Jul 5th 2008 4:34PM]

[DeoWulf @ Jul 5th 2008 4:43PM]

[El Taco @ Jul 5th 2008 10:43PM]

El Taco, silly name

[michas_pi @ Jul 5th 2008 4:37PM]

I've seen duct tape wallets, duct tape purses, and now this...the second iteration of the duct tape server.

[Rick @ Jul 5th 2008 4:47PM]

For what they probably spent on 11 or 12 rolls of duct tape they could have bought a cheap PC case with a fan.

[404 @ Jul 5th 2008 5:01PM]

I don't really think this was about saving money you know.

[DESTOS @ Jul 5th 2008 5:16PM]

11 or 12 dollars?

[Rick @ Jul 5th 2008 5:31PM]

I think Nashua duct tape costs more than $1/roll. Probably at least $3/roll.

[matt @ Jul 5th 2008 5:34PM]

Why do dogs lick their own bollocks?

[tchapp @ Jul 5th 2008 7:21PM]

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.

[meh @ Jul 5th 2008 7:34PM]

Unlike with a cheap case, you cannot cut your finger on duct tape, so this one still wins -)

[Berfy @ Jul 5th 2008 7:42PM]

The duct tape at my warehouse is 12 bucks a roll.

[Jherez @ Jul 5th 2008 9:48PM]

That must be some amazing duct tape for $12 a roll. Shit that's almost 3 gallons of gas!

[bayoudreams @ Jul 10th 2008 10:01AM]

I think it has alot to do with being cheap, didn't you see the Bush beer in one photo? totally

[Fed @ Jul 5th 2008 4:54PM]

Some people have way too much time on their hands...
Having said that, this thing is pretty cool!

[404 @ Jul 5th 2008 5:00PM]

They might have made a server out of duct tape, but I bet they'll never make duct tape out of a server!

[Mr. Fax Sender @ Jul 5th 2008 5:35PM]

That's... not... amazing..

[Jhongerkong @ Jul 5th 2008 5:42PM]

[Dillon @ Jul 5th 2008 7:15PM]

Ya, play doom.

[Abuzar Baloach @ Jul 5th 2008 9:02PM]

Yeah, but it can play Pong, so we're good.

[Wormbolt @ Jul 5th 2008 6:58PM]

Does it have a touchscreen?

[Fubar @ Jul 5th 2008 8:22PM]

Yes, but your fingers stick to it.

[Archena @ Jul 5th 2008 9:01PM]

Patch Tuesday gets a completely different meaning

[Jacob @ Jul 6th 2008 1:14AM]

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?)
