So.. now that I am out of school I have tons of free time  :)  Using a rough guide I was able to build a 4' x 24" x 20" server rack for under $60 ( I have yet to paint it but I already bought the paint)..

Take a look.. I am about to go to home depot/menards in search of some cat5/6 and a crimper to get this thing wired..

Sorry about the huge pic size.. I can resize the all that much on this computer.. Suck when you forget your power brick  :roll: :lol:
