rack
I managed to pick up a 1/4 height rack today off a friend I used to work with. He had just moved and no longer had the room for the rack so I took it off his hands 
I had intended on actually buying a 1/2 height rack to put all my gear in but I have settled on the 1/4 height one until such time that I source a 1/2 height one.
Its not too bad, but considering I have no rack mounted cases yet I have had to just put the midi-tower cases standing up inside the rack, unfortunately with this configuration I am unable to mount anything else in the case like my 3com rack switch, cisco router, access point, ups, kvm or dat unit.. so there are still things not quite right, but nonetheless the concept is there.
At the moment everything is looking much tidier with everything in (or on top of) the rack as opposed to having servers and comms equipment strewn all over the place.
