The following pictures are actual PR material distributed by the Mitac Corporation in response to reports that the cooling fans in the Mitac rack-mounted computers tended to stop working causing the Mitac units to over-heat and catch fire.
This is the only time I have seen chopsticks deployed as test lab equipment.
These pictures do not inspire much confidence in the Mitac Corporation's understanding of the issue. They don't seem to grasp the idea that when the failure-prone cooling fans stop working the source of combustion is the tightly packed heat-generating components in the four PCs in each Mitac unit rather than the fans themselves. It looks as if they had a lot of fun running the tests, though.
Here is a rack of five Mitacs in stylish black.
