500kW Gas-Powered Air-Cooled Container — 140 Slots
Enterprise-grade platform, assembled and tested in the EU.
Overview
The air-cooled counterpart to our hydro container: two 250 kW natural gas generator sets powering 140 air-cooled slots, with ventilation, airflow management and networking built into the same 40-foot shell.
Air cooling gets more slots into the same container — 140 against 96 — and costs substantially less, because there is no coolant loop, no pump group and no dry-cooler plant to buy. The trade is per-slot power: air handles standard hardware comfortably and runs out of headroom under overclocking or at GPU-node densities. If your fleet is standard air-cooled units, this is the cheaper and denser choice, and the difference is not marginal.
Why teams choose it
- 140 slots against 96 — air cooling fits more hardware in the same shell.
- Substantially cheaper — no coolant loop, pump group or dry coolers.
- 500 kW self-generated — two 250 kW gas sets integrated.
- Managed airflow — ventilation and containment engineered, not improvised.
Typical applications
- Standard air-cooled fleets at remote gas sites
- Lowest capital cost per slot in an off-grid deployment
- Sites where overclocking is not part of the plan
What you get from Kentino
Kentino supplies, configures and supports this system as part of a complete deployment: site and load assessment, gas supply and emissions requirements, electrical design, EU-based logistics and warranty. On-site generation carries permitting and emissions obligations that vary by country — our engineers will walk through what applies to your location before you order.
Lead time and freight are quoted per project. Contact us for a full bill of materials and a delivery estimate to your site.
The questions buyers ask us most often before ordering a server.
How long does it take?
Machines built from components we hold ship quickly; anything requiring a specific GPU generation depends on supply. We give you a date before you pay, and if it moves we tell you rather than letting you find out.
Can the configuration be changed before you build it?
Almost always. GPUs, memory, storage and cooling are chosen per order, and the listed configuration is a starting point rather than a fixed package. If you need more VRAM, faster storage or a different cooling approach, say so before you order and we will quote the change.
Can I collect the server in person?
You can. Our warehouse is in Prague, and collection in person is welcome — most people who come use the visit to go through the machine with our engineer and ask the questions that are awkward over email. For orders within the Czech Republic we also try to deliver personally and walk you through the setup on site.
Can I talk to someone who actually understands the workload?
Yes. We have an engineer who works on AI systems specifically, not a general sales desk. If your question is about batch sizes, quantisation, interconnect or where your bottleneck will be, ask it — that conversation usually changes the configuration for the better.
Which model can I run on this configuration?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
How do you test a server before shipping?
We run it against actual AI workloads rather than synthetic scores: inference throughput, sustained load behaviour and thermals under continuous operation. You get the benchmark results with the machine, so the performance you were promised is the performance you can verify on day one.
Is the server ready to run when it arrives?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
Ships from our EU warehouse. Heavy items may require freight arrangement — contact us for a shipping quote and lead time. 2-year limited warranty with advanced RMA support; extended warranty available.
Not exactly what you need?
Tell us your workload and we'll spec this platform around it — GPUs, memory, storage and cooling matched to what you actually run.
