The article says: An implementation of the LACKRack, which adapts an IKEA side table for use as a stylish home data center.
Looking at those pictures, I disagree. They are not stylish at all. It looks like someone bolted a bunch of old gear from ebay onto a cheap table in their messy apartment.
- maukdaddy 17y agoThe words "stylish" and "home data center" NEVER belong together!
- jrockway 17y agoIndeed. I have a geek friend that runs his popular blog from a server in his closet. He lives in a very high-end luxury apartment... but when you walk in, all you notice is how loud that damn server is. (I guess some people are not bothered by noise. Lucky them.) Anyway, if you need a loud server, you can afford a virtual server or a colo. Otherwise, just get a nice quiet HTPC or something, and put it under the couch. Nobody will ever know...
- maukdaddy 17y agoExactly. The closest I get is a Mac Mini that lives in a closet, running as a file/media server. Completely quiet, out of the way, etc.
