I'm going to pass on that, thank you though.

This is a great idea, thank you very much. I'm going to see how feasible this is (datacenter may not want liquids in proximity to other machines).

This is what we're doing right now. It's slowing the graphics cards down to be as warm as they are. With just a couple of machines, it's fine, but when you start adding more, it just gets to the point where it's too warm. I want to solve the problem before it really becomes one.

Why do you need video cards in servers?

They're not servers. Each machine has three Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 in it, all running 24/7, all overclocked. The oldest machines have Radeon 7950's, but I am phasing those out (anyone buying 7950 cards?) in favor of the 290's (650 kH/s versus 850 kH/s).

:1orglaugh -- I've seen people try to install cgminer on server-based Linux platforms, forgetting that they need the X components. Hilarity ensued.
