Have you ever heard the legend of the Beerinator? Nearly a decade ago, the team at 45Drives wanted a rackmount server loaded with ice cold beer... so they took one of their legendary AV45 chassis, welded it shut, and filled it with ice.

That's all well and good, but there's nothing like a challenge to get the engineering juices flowing. So when I heard about the Beerinator, I challenged them to build a fully working Beer Chiller. And today, it's at home in my server rack.

But first... What am I drinking???
