[Chester LUG] Fwd: HP Microserver LCD status screen mod...

[Sebastian Arcus]

Hmm - they are connecting five (3.5 inch - I assume) hard-disks to that 
thing - but still leaving in the original 150W power supply! Good luck 
to them with that - talking about guaranteed obsolescence. With 
capacitors ageing - that power supply will be lucky to power a torch in 
few years time.
