Rig of the Week

TUAW reader omdot has posted a sweet shot of his Mac mini raid - artfully arranged, we might add - to our Flickr pool. He uses it as a backup of his main Linux system, and it updates itself hourly. Pretty cool.

To the pedants above - what kind of *RAID* wouldn't involve a lot of storage? Of course it's a single CPU and a lot of disks. If it were a lot of CPU's, it would be a compute cluster, not a RAID.

They are not all mac mini's, only the one on the far left it. The rest are external Hd's w/ the mini's form factor. Roberto...did you really think at first that they were all mac mini's? It's a raid array, not a mac mini cluster...

I don't think they are mac mini...

This is a photo representink a bunch of iomega MiniMax external drives, whose form factor is mac mini like, so you can stack them under your mini.

Mac mini DOES NOT have a blue light in the middle bottom, just a mini-led to indicate it's ower status.
