Old contraptions

Some examples of how not to treat your servers...

I was young, I didn't know better.

My first server "rack". In a cardboard box...

There were three computers in here... And Lego. Can you spot them all?

Cardboard replaced with laminated fibreboard. Also added a 4th computer.

Lots of very dusty storage space. Well, it was a lot of space back then.

The collection of computers soon conquered the entire closet.

Moved to another closet, added more glue and yet another computer.

I hadn't heard of cable management...

On the other hand, the heat was handled well by this temperature controlled fan.

The "exhaust pipe" led straight out the window.
