I am in the process of building a server rack and while it’s fun and dandy, I don’t think I’d do it again. My first shot my measurements were off, as you can (probably) see below:
I’ve got to redo it, but it’s a work in progress. Still saving money compared to buying a rack. Total investment so far in this I think is around $100-$150.
I’ll probably make a dedicated page on here to the rack building, but I just wanted to update the blog 
Edit: here is the page http://www.riscit.info/server-rack/

I’m going to attempt to build a functional version of the WOPR supercomputer from the movie Wargames. Well, mine won’t have supercomputer power, but it’ll be really rad.
Here’s my project page I will be keeping updates on: http://www.riscit.info/wopr/

I had bought an old BayNetworks Centillion 100 off ebay and the MCP board came with a password which the seller did not know. So I had to figure this out or I could not use the thing at all. I have included screen captures from this and if you click on the images, you will get full res pictures.
Read more to see the pictures and what not.
