This is the Mac Mini I'm planning on using as a development server. I spent a few days installing software with a keyboard/monitor/mouse and now it's running as a "headless" server on the home network, administered entirely via ssh.
The first iteration of Google production servers were built with inexpensive hardware and were designed to be very fault-tolerant. The system worked very well and proved to be highly scalable.
A Linksys NSLU2 network-attached storage device, with a 320Gb Seagate USB hard drive attached. The 'slug' (as the NSLU2 is affectionately known amongst hobbyists) has the 'Unslung' alternative firmware loaded, which allows for additional software to be installed.

(Update (2007/01/06): I've now moved 'ayeka' to the rack next to the trolley where this photo was taken, and added a Pertelian USB LCD display for system stats, etc. See other 'nslu2'-tagged photos in my photoset for views of the new setup.)

The building was originally the Research block, and when Huntsman came in it became the "Huntsman Main Offices".
