Ikea Server Rack is Finished
What kind of bloke gets to play with servers on his day off? A damn lucky one my wife always tell me?.. Am I lucky? Or do I have a plan? I think I have a plan, this is a project I've been meaning to sort out for quite some time, now I have a week off of work, I'm knocking things out the park... Sooo...... Meet my new server wrack, so this is a pair of Ikea Lack Coffee tables, one with the feet fitted, and it's screwed down onto the top of another, with a pair of wheel which I also got at Ikea. I've reinforced the leg uprights, and I'm busy fitting out the rear with a dedicated switch and power setup. It's all on wheels so it can go anywhere in my office with relative ease. And yes, these are my older Poweredge servers (from my fan/noise reduction videos). Only the top unit is operational, with all the drives fitted and a full compliment of memory (64GB I think is in it). Its socking a quad port gigabyte Ethernet at the moment but I have a whole box of fiber...
