R2-D2 Monitors Your Web Servers 70
1sockchuck writes "What happens when you hire Star Wars enthusiasts as the system admins for your data center? You end up with the R2-D2 server monitoring system. The staff at Japan's Syun (only if you read Japanese) have converted an R2-D2 DVD projector into a Nagios-based server monitoring system that alerts them whenever a server goes offline." Say what you will, but that's a lot harder to ignore than a beeper.

Yeah, but it's not as hard to ignore as the Chewbacca Server Monitor, who comes in and rips your arms off if you don't fix the problem.

Provided it was capable of saying "Exterminate" in a harsh metallic voice and had real death rays for those troublesome cases of PEBKAC.
Actually, forget the server bit, you just want a Dalek, full stop.
