      @travisdh1 I would prefer if you didn't refer to it as "floppy"...

      LOL and yes, its a very old system I took from work for messing around with. I actually need to pull it out and dispose of the entire server.

        The latest edition to my home lab has arrived. Almost enough to make a grown man cry

            @travisdh1 Now I just need to configure the drives and throw Xenserver on this thing and let it rip. 🙂

                I only have the NTG one now. All of the gear that I had was either moved there or retired. I'm not a hardware lab guy any more. It's all platform and higher these days.

                    I am asking permission to post these. It is a Tier 4 data center so I might not be able to share that.

                      We need staff there to take pics normally. It's a sealed facility.

                        @Minion-Queen If it is a colo facility and only pictures of your rack, I doubt there is an issue.

                            Here's @Minion-Queen and I at the data center where the NTG Lab is running! Oh, Coly is there too, I guess. 0_1471883380511_Ci7OWpRU4AAl88z.jpg

                              @ChrisL what about a picture of the rack itself?

                                I don't have the space for a "lab" anymore, but here is what mine looked like way back between 2003 to around 2008:

                                  I wish that I had pictures of my old lab from the late 1990s. It was pretty crazy. Huge old metal table with a low of green screen CRT 386 and 486 Linux machines.

                                      @Shuey nice, I'm sure that you miss having room for that.

                                            Network portion on the wall has been setup for a while now, but just installed the electric and ran a wire for the rack piece this weekend.

                                            1_1479159495282_Network.JPG

                                            My rack is a full size rack, cut in half and welded back together with the help of a grinder, a welder, and a few drinks.
