killyourfm, (edited ) The coolest #scale21x booth award -- and most genius donation method -- goes to NUCC (National Upcycled Computing Collective).
They took this soda machine and transformed it into a massive server from reclaimed and refurbished server racks. They even wrote a whole thing to do the transactions.
You stick dollar bills in, select which "flavor" you want, and it pops out a shell for you to access all weekend from the show.
