      Nice - I've thought of building my own (home) rack but was over complicating things. Using rail stock makes sense and the job cleaner and simpler.

        Nice find.

        I have a two post rack I've been using more or less (less lately) for the past 15 years, I could cut it down and do something like this. I might take it a step further and put a vent in the top back, connected to a drier hose and vent the heat out of the room/house.

            Cool find.... I will have to build one of these if I ever get a rack style server at the house.

                I didn't read the rest of this post, but when did you get a small rack?

                  I am going to refrain from comment on this one, because @Dominica and @Minion-Queen would both find a way to slap me from 1,700 miles away...actually...nvm...

                      I didn't say "my small rack" cause we all know I have the opposite of that.

                          I like using a real rack. It's classy looking and impressive.

                                    Alas, I'm probably the only chick on here that would think it was funny to be a called a Mango Tart. Too much butthurt from those without my sense of humor.

                                      Ordered the rails. I've got a buddy with a hardware store so i'm going to build the rack out of some Cedar or something like that instead of boring old pine 🙂

                                        Pine is good for the 2x4 internal frame. you can skin it with nearly anything.

                                        I feel that until I reach at least 300 posts I need to keep my humoristic responses to a minimum... Don't want to get thrown out yet.
