Slightly off-topic so apologies: Looking at hosting some servers in Hong Kong, to serve the APAC region. Our client is worried that this may slow things down in their Australia region, and are wondering whether hosting the servers in an Australian data-centre would be a better option. Does anyone

OT: Server Cabinet

Sorry to start the day OT, but I'm sure you lovely lot will have some tips/experience! ;) We have a HP Server Cabinet (42U 10842 G2), that we've stripped down to the bare-bones chassis. It now measures 750mm wide. We have a door-way that said server cabinet must fit through, measuring up at 620mm

HP 42U Cabinet - Caster fitting instructions?
