Just a bunch of scanners (JBOS?)
This is the story on how I spent far too much money and time getting a scanner to work over iSCSI so that I could prove Chris O" wrong on StackExchange. The TL;DR is that yes scanners work fine over iSCSI.

The next step is connecting a bunch of flatbed scanners to a disk array enclosure, but that turns out to be quite an expensive little exercise. Regardless, this is absolutely wild, and I love it when people go to great lengths just to prove that something pointless can actually be done. Bravo.
