Re: OT : Small home rack

I'm thinking of building my own computers from now on.  I use two computers for LAMP dev and was thinking that a small rack made out of angle iron might do the job.  Add a KVM switch and I use a lot less room.

I think that a tower would suffice in SB/home environments. With virtual hosts, of course. ;) I'm personally using an old (retired/reprovisioned) P4 SFF workstation (w/ 5 VM guests) as a server.
