In the test Linus did it was with a low power machine, in that case it will work if the cooling device is big enough.
I had assumed (incorrectly judging from your comment) that you were thinking of trying this with your spare fridge and a gaming machine.
What grade of cable?
You will need a crimper, plus ends etc. Even bestbuy sells them now, or amazon.
Just make sure the cable is up to snuff for your connection speed
IE 10Gbit needs Cat6E (for very short runs) and Cat6A for longer runs.
CSF seems like a way to monetize team building activities for LTT.
Just seems like a decent business move, although Linus did mention in one of the wan shows that CSF just hemorrhages money...
Well looking on arc they look pretty close in terms pure spec. your only really lacking in clockrate, the advantage with the zeon is the ECC memory support.
