<p>The rack is mostly noncritical, but the rack list would prefer if it wasn't hacked on.</p>

Hmm. I like the idea of a place to learn how to properly rack servers and even moreso of proper cabling. Now, I am wondering if we could use the rack in the electric closet as an example or something like that. I mean it would be just like working with live stuff. Would breaking something in the electrical closet break internet for everyone?<br>

</div>JS: seems to me easy enough to make a power supply that's 15V at 4A<br>
with what's lying around. Not pretty, only clumsily portable, but<br>
do-able. Finding the RAM is a matter of luck, I'm guessing.<br>

</div>JS: I'm confused. why an electrical closet? to store what?<br>
The bins and shelves around the electronic equipment<br>
have various hackable gizmos. I think the policy is to grab<br>
something and tear it apart, use what you like, then put<br>
what you've built in some safe place (like your house or,<br>
if you're brave, "your member shelf"). I'm guessing you<br>
have something different in mind.<br>
