DIY Filing Cabinet Linux Server Cluster [Weekend Project]

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.
