Wow, that's a lot of servers. I'd expect it for Google though, they get millions of hits.

I wonder what the specs for all those are.... I thought google used like a rooster or chicken for their searches. If anyone knows what I'm talking about speak up. I'm really not nuts. (It was their April Fools Joke)

My wife and I will be building a house next year. Do you think that I could lobby for one more room and get something like that put in it. Probably not. he he he

I'm real impressed. It looks like they did a nice clean job wiring it up.
