So I’m remodeling my house. Yeah, I know it’s been several years –and it will probably be a few more before I’m done. Hell, I’m hoping to get it all done before I die at this point! But in the mean time, work has to get done so I’m now working out in the living room adjacent to Candi’s make-shift nail salon. I will say it’s nice to be working together (even if we’re working on totally different stuff at the same time…
This is my small rack where I house the power distribution, networking, and KVM switch (I can control up to 16 machines from this little baby).

| Here you can see the back of my workshop table. I fabricated umbilical cables to carry not only the KVM connections but also sound, power, and ethernet. You can also see the custom laptop mount I built out of a large piece of plexiglass to house a dedicated cooling system, AC power adapter, and outlet strip. Not bad for a few bucks at the hardware store!
You may notice that the upper shelf is supported by two Dell XPS 700 chassis. I managed to acquire these systems as they had dead motherboards and managed to wake one up. I’ve found no other PC case quite like them!  –click on the image for a larger view– |
Here’s a closeup of the cabling behind the rack. I’ve done quite a bit both on the outside and inside of some of these components. I’ve had to re-wire the power strips to handle the special plugs.
