How does this image make you feel?

If there's an iMac "Pro" refresh you can bet your ass that someone somewhere is gonna find some way to rackmount it.
That's how I feel.

Feels as useful as getting normal rackmount servers covered in diamonds

>>60206697

There's just no way that is a cost effective server solution... right?

>>60206697
They should have installed ejection handles on the cans for aesthetics

ios/mac development requires macs. Though I think using racked mac minis is more cost- and space-efficient

They're probably not even a company anymore.
Startups don't last very long, especially not your dime a dozen VPS hosting companies.

>Though I think using racked mac minis is more cost- and space-efficient
Racking Mac minis made some sort of sense, you can actually stuff quite a few in the space of 4U. Racking Mac Pros is the point where you start to wonder "okay but", and I bet if we see racked iMacs, it'll just be pure Tony Kornheiser "why".

>>60206697
We have about 2000 of them in these exact fucking racks we hate them. But fucking apple wont let us run fucking vm's. But we need to do testing on Mac OS, so we have no choice.

>>60206697
It looks cool. Doesn't evoke much feelings.

>>60206697
Seems absurdly costly and inefficient.

Imagine how many more Macs you can cram into the same space when you use a thinner solution.

>>60206822
mac minis are significantly less powerful than mac pros.
With mac minis "loaded" with 16 gigs of ram you can run like 5 or 6 VMs before the cpu starts to choke up.
But with the mac pro you can easily run 20-30 vms on one system

On the other hand you can put 16 Mac Minis into 4U compared to two Mac Pros

Fucking jealous. It's just missing some colour.

>>60206822
If you could hotswap an rack by simply unlocking via the theoretic handle, twisting, and pulling, that would be hella dope.

Serious question: what's the purpose of such setups?

>>60209741
I guess people who are dependent on using Apple servers simply had to improvise after xServe and the rack-mountable MacPro got axed.

>>60209875
In other words people just got jewed hard and had no other choice, but bend over and spread their ass?

Holy shit, this. Especially with an unlocking sound and liquid nitrogen coming out, like a frozen virus sample.

>>60208670
Sadly that still doesn't justify the ~1k $ extra you have to shell out per unit for the same performance...

Makes me feel like you're a retard.

If you're doing any kind of large scale software development you'll want to have proper testing setup for automated testing. You'll also want to run the tests in an environment that's as close to the production environment.

Maybe you're building desktop applications for macOS or want to ensure that macOS + Safari work out for your webapp. Maybe even with older versions of the OS and browser.

Well macOS license forbids running it on non Apple hardware even for development purposes. Apple doesn't make rackable servers either. Only thing you can do is buy their consumer stuff and try to manage it the best you can.

Two CPUs in 4U wont run hot at all.

>>60212744
But that's not illegal right? I mean, I understand that expecting IBM or Google to do hackintoshes is absurd, but then again so is this. A standard server rack with macOS VM's and then a final environment with actual Macs seems to make more sense to me.

>>60206697
I assume those are just for testing?

Ahahaha holy fuck what cancer. I love the propped open screens because OSX is inconsistent about waking on USB when the lid is closed no matter what you do with the settings.

doesnt work.

if you have power connected you can do clamshell mode natively (but ONLY if you have power connected and run the dedicated gpu), however that picture looks like they have to overlap them like that to get 3 to fit

It was a comment on the trashcan's cooling capabilities, doubt the rack makes any difference aside from that fuel rod aesthetic

Pretty much any can well. If you care about the GUI then you need to pass through a GPU.

There is much better hardware to put in a rack like that.

However, removing / adding cylindrical computers would be cool. Feels like something out of a science fiction movie.
