Abstract
A high-density low power computer cluster enables high bandwidth video streaming within a small physical footprint. A plurality of low power motherboards are densely arranged in a chassis compatible with a standard server rack. The motherboards are oriented vertically within the chassis and arranged into rows. Each motherboard serves as a node in live streaming network. External ports and indicators on the chassis enable convenient access and control of the motherboards from outside the chassis. Furthermore, a fan-based cooling system provides simultaneous cooling to the plurality of motherboards in the computing cluster.
