I need more units for it though, when i get more, i'll just buy another one and stack them on the floor or just remove the LCD (i can do everything remotely anyways).

Theres a video fo it too on my YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/hh89hh89  Man, i am fucking tired..
Oh yeah, sorry I missed your calls, i have a phone now thanks to Altalp so if you wanna call me this week that'd be cool.

That's a pretty cool find for 15 bucks, but how sturdy is it? Those crossbeams don't really look like I'd want to put 100 pounds on them.

Looks great!  I wonder if it would survive the extreme treatment you gave the ShmooCon hotel's rack.

it actually is quite sturdy.  I think the HP server is 100 lbs alone. heh.  its designed so that ll for corners are connected - like a metal box kind of, and the the units fit into it very tightly, kinda like holding themselves in, while restingon the brackets that would normally hold the steel wire bins.

Wow. You have some old Sun stuff. It's too bad that you're a ways away from me because I'd probably be able to get you a Sunfire that is no more than two years old on the cheap.

uhm, the netras? to me they aren't old at all.  In fact, I still have a Sparcstation20 that i was using to host files via SMB to stream to my xbox up until recently.  And i could always pay for shipping
