Compact city gate

About this model

A neoclassical city gate with Doric columns, a two-step attic and a crown block over the middle. Each laptop blade stands inside its own pier, a box of lattice tiles with a column in front of each end, so from outside you see lattice piers and only a dark shadow of the board. Between the piers are empty passages you can look straight through, and the middle one is half as wide again, as on the real gates. You pick 2 or 4 computers: with four you get six piers, six columns on each side and five passages, 1.38 m long, and the gate is always 0.86 m tall. Air comes in low through the passages and the bottom of each pier, rises past the board and leaves through the attic and the lid. One 260 W supply runs them all; the supply, the network switch and the shared disk lie inside the plinth. To swap a blade you lift the lid above its pier and pull the blade straight up by its tab.
