Rack Mount servers at home

[CDN_Goose]

Good evening forum.

as my first post, i am not sure if it has been posted before as my search came with too many results.

now have internally 4 2U servers running in a closet. I was trying to find ideas online of a nice way to mount these but have it look appealing as well.

I have seen a few digital concepts of wood deign that were nice. though still looking.
if anyone knows of any please reply with the link.

Looking to match a Black metal and Glass desk, Plus something to keep these things quiet.

I always thought SGI Racks looked the best from an aesthetic point of view.

I think you'll have more luck in the "Networking & Security" sub-forums. Plenty of people there have racks in their homes.

You can start off with the "Network pics" thread. Mostly of people's work, but there are some home setups there too. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1275272

Thanks for the tips.
I will check out the other forums, as for the SGI racks. true they do but they have a very high cost. but still searching.

I found an APC on craigslist it was 200 with shelf's, cables, apc power strips.
not to shabby. I would look for businesses closing down and local adds.



No servers in mine yet...but you get the idea.
