      But I can't mount anything to the wall.

        I have a full professional office but in my house. I gave up hiding things.

          Peg board and velcro/zip ties. No drilling holes necessary.

            I recommend a dedicated closet.

              In a 750SQF apartment? No room for that 😄

                    What about your modem, router, AP, and switch?

                      Modem, router, and AP are all nestled in a book case and tucked behind my TV in my living room. My servers and everything else are down in the basement.

                        A server in a damp environment? What could possibility go wrong? 😄

                        Maybe it's a finished basement?

                          I've got an office. but stuff's just everywhere. my servers are only for testing, they're in a rack. network gear is whatever. i'm going to pro it up sometime this year. just an ERL and maybe a small ubiquity switch.

                            I ornately painted plywood and screwed it into my wall (behind TV in living room) as art. I then mounted a half-rack with my firewall/switch/patch panel. My place is a two story loft style town house so I ran cabling through a runner up the wall and into my bedroom where my server is (4 cat5e cables).

                              The hospital I used to work at had these plastic grates that elevated the towers off of the ground. I want to get my PC off of the carpet for obvious reasons. Any ideas? I have a glass desk FYI.

                                  Someplace that I don't remember, and now even I can't find it.

                                    My network infrastructure basically looks like this. DO and Vultr VPS servers and Pertino networking.

                                      What I have used for the last several years,.. both at home and in the office.

                                      In the last apartment we had, I mounted it to the side/back of a short bookcase.

                                        My Router is also my AP and switch. It is located next to my cable modem in a cabinet beneath my TV. 🙂

                                        No wired connections anywhere, as wireless does surprisingly well in my house. I am currently planning a wired deployment, but I am seriously wondering if I need it anywhere other than my "computer room".

                                          I have everything in one of the rooms of the house which is also my "office." Our basement sucks and my wife would never approve of having a rack server plus switches and cables anywhere other than that room upstairs.

                                            Hide? Why hide your art.... would you tell VanGogh to put his paintings in a closet?
