The Retro Rack is Alive

After months of overthinking it, I finally dove in this weekend and just built the thing. Wrapping up a video (the first of many) covering the initial build out, pre-release coming very soon!

EDIT: just kidding got excited, video is live!

If I find an xServe someday!

Just had a weird idea, what if the monitoring software was running of an xServe. As you have IBM and Sun add an Apple. Great Video.

Yes! some retro NASes hopefully and actually another new one to backup my existing NAS with.

clabretro

haha yes

You know with some clever duct work and a few more units in that rack, you could replace that furnace in the background. Who says this stuff is obsolete!

Matt Althouse

Nice, eagerly waiting to see this choc full of retro gear !!

Rob Tongeman

I see the IBMs are at the bottom. Should stop it falling over xD

Mark Benson

Cant wait, any plans for a nas or ups

Matthew Gregory

too accurate

clabretro

the weathergoose will make its way in there eventually!

clabretro

It begins... 😁

Maggie McFee

No need to over-think - heaviest on the bottom, work your way up! It's no fun swapping out the heavy stuff when some gorilla puts it near the top...

Jack Beckman

If you build it, they will come. (Even more gear, that is.) 😎

Wossen Wyatt

Nice. Those P5 servers fit right in with the Cisco router

TrolleyMC

You have no idea how exciting this is
