Mary had a little lamb. It bumped into a pylon. Ten thousand volts went up its arse and turned its wool to nylon!
Re: homemade server rack

Re: homemade server rack
Here's one I built back in '05.
Back with brace, which isn't really needed if there's a system on the bottom.
The rails are staggered front and back, I had planned on putting a switch facing out the rear above the top system. Never got to that point, and as of right now only have two systems running in the rack. One of these days I'll pull the cases and move the rails up a bit, right now the bottom system sits on the wood on the bottom and is very difficult to remove. That'll also give me a chance to do more bracing in the interior.
Eventually I'm going to build myself a new desk, and will have two 14u racks acting as the bases. My current rack is only 24" deep. The desk racks will be at least 30" deep, have doors, and have their own exhaust fans.
