I'm getting anal at my old age, and I couldn't stand the way our racks were mismatched as far as the servers went. We had 3- 42U's about 1/2 full each, with tape drives on top of servers. It was gross. well myself and the other admin decided to surprise him. In the process, we freed a 42U APC rack, which maybe we'll get to take home for our efforts :D
In any case, here's the before. Notice Dells 2U Poweredges and Compaq 4U Proliants mingling together. This leads to instability, as they clash for power and bandwidth :p

he's lovin' it, and we're loving it. The Dells are snug in their own Dell rack, and the Compaqs all get to chill together like they always wanted to. Mission accomplished.

Just got a promotion and MONSTEROUS raise that starts Jan 1. Now that I think about it, why the hell did I do this then? :D
 
Cause you love your job - maybe ? - i cant stand unorganized crap - people who toss things together with no thought - got something to be proud of there!
