[lugip] This is the story of Helmer. A linux cluster in a IKEA Helmer cabinet.

[William Bilancio]

Freelance animator Janne needed a cheap way to do a whole lot of
CPU-intensive 3D rendering, so he built a Linux cluster into an Ikea
filing cabinet to get the job done. The Helmer was a whole lot cheaper
than what CPU cases would cost for the servers he built, and it saved
a lot of space, too. Check out the Helmer Linux cluster site to get
the details of how Janne mounted the motherboards and fans inside the
cabinet to create a home-friendly, energy-efficient, six-server
cluster.
