The package included sixteen Intel 11th-gen PC systems that look incredibly cheap.

    A single spinning disk visible, no redundancy

    This doesn’t even look like it would cut it as a desktop for any remotely intensive work, let alone as a server

    Edit: that might be the corner of a second disk down there

    Edit 2: okay read down the article and this is 16 crappy computers which is marginally better

    Not unlike the $400,000,000 that was allocated to build the tent city known as Alligator Auschwitz.
