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

Paging @scottalanmiller to post pictures of his lab. (not the NTG one)

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.

[DustinB3403]

And yet no pictures of even the NTG lab, shame @scottalanmiller, shame.

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.

[Texkonc]

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

IDF Network closet for the rooms that are wired in my house.

My Mini AV rack for switch, FW, UPS, and Business desktops that are my play servers. Work in Progress.

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

[StrongBad]

@ChrisL what about a picture of the rack itself?

[Shuey]

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 That is sweet! Thanks for sharing.

[Reid Cooper]

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

I definitely do!

[Reid Cooper]

@Shuey Oh to have space again.

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.

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.

Not likely,.. maybe out in the office space maybe.

If you look closely you see server racks, power euipment (maybe AC). So ya, that is a dataroom.
If it is just the internal office dataroom and not the colo, still......tisk tisk.
