Talk:Pizza box form factor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pizza box should not redirect here. Why? Because there should be a Wikipedia article on pizza boxes, their variations, and the features provided by various pizza companies (for example, Domino's Pizza's "Heat Wave" box). Real pizza boxes are much more common than computers shaped like pizza boxes. Hence, I created a stub at pizza box. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] old desktops vs. new rack-mounts

I think the conflict here is that what used to be called pizza box is no longer really very pizza-box like copared to 1U rack mount boxes. This distinction should be made, or, as is my limited hardware experience, that picture should be removed entirely, and we should just talk about what I know is a pizza box: a 1U or 2U rack mount. —Fitch 01:54, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Propose name change

"Pizza box" form factor is about the most far-off name I've heard for a Rack-mounted server. They are not called "pizza box" servers. In fact, I've never met anyone in my life who's called them pizza box servers. Therefore, we must correct the name to what is accepted by the IT and webhosting industry. Perhaps "Rack-mount form factor" or some variation of that name. Or just create a stub that *actually* talks about the Rack-mount form factor, and have 1U Server and 2U Server redirect to that... or perhaps another idea to remove this nonexistant relationship between "pizza box" and the Rack Unit.
