I mean, that would be hillarious. Let's say some company thinks they are totally covered with 50 VMs all load balancing each other... then they think they CAN'T CRASH!
Then theres a power failure. Whole company goes offline.
I wonder how much power that monster would use anyway....

Posted By: ewdisonAny Quad Xeon with 8GB RAM, and 74GB X 2 10000RPM SCSI HDD and Litespeed webserver!
I would put it at ThePlanet datacenter in dallas, after all they sponsored us hahaha
You've got your eye on the clovertowns don't you? I must admit those are some very nice processors... adding to the current discussions... they are good for VPS/VMs too... but your better off with 2 x 500GB hdd's... I know theres a speed compromise but think how much more stuff you could hold. Also you need a bit more RAM... that server is lightweight, lol!

To bad you cannot run a virtual computer. That would be sooo awesome. Even though none of your data would be safe but if you used it for basic non-important documents it would be quite cool.

What do you mean you can't run a virtual computer?
What do you mean data isn't safe?
I run VMs, using OpenVZ, Xen and VMWare. All of it's safe, look into the technologies
http://vmware.com/
http://xensource.com/
http://openvz.org/
VMs/VPS/VDS rocks! I use it for servers to, saves hardware.
Speaking of my ideal server, I've picked up a Quad Xeon, 8GB Ram on ebay to play around with VMs before deploying.

Sound like your getting a beast! I don't like the free vmware products, you can't limit CPU Usage, in terms of OpenVZ, openvz rocks the boat. But sadly its a PAIN IN THE ASS to use via command line.

Well basically I mean like be able to have like a virtual computer. So you can run like Windows Vista from the web or something, I'm not sure if that was what this you stated earlier is. As I have never heard about any of these websites or what they do.

Uh... you can :)

It's powered by Microsoft Virtual Server. Speaking of that, when my Quad Xeon arrives i'm going to load it with Win2K3 and VS2005R2 Looks really cool!
Basically how you can view virtual pc over the internet is you have a remote virtual pc, that has VNC/remote desktop on it... or a web plugin to view and input whats going on.

Yea, I wish there was a place that would allow you to pay a monthly fee for that, it would be pretty cool.
