       | OMG I love this. I have so many questions. What are the rules?
       | How much does a server weigh? Are the servers shared between
       | throws? What do they do about damage for the next thrower? Are
       | they using different "standard" configs or weights depending on
       | ability level? Etc...

       | 
       | But there is the question of balance too. Often on your typical
       | dell the weight is concentrated at the back on one side because
       | of the PSUs.
       | 
       | And what is the best throwing technique? For a 1U full depth
       | server I think Id want to try a frisbee or discus style throw,
       | but that would require a lot of grip strength.
       | 
       | Are there different classes? Perhaps there should be a caber-toss
       | style event for those 13U servers you get with the vertical line
       | cards, and a two person event for yeeting those really big
       | routers.

       | starting at EUR499 + VAT.
