Re: Updated: My Server setip

Let see.. where do I start?

I see 5 racks, containing about 2 racks worth of useful/semi useful stuff, depending on how much you want to spend heating the basement with obsolete boatanchors, and about 2 racks worth of e-waste.

I see a lot of tagging with a sharpie, which looks like a gang of taggers was let loose in your basement.. It looks "ghetto", rather than "professional" . my advice, get a can of goof-off, and a box of rags, and clean it up. buy a p-touch, and label it right.. even post-it's or strips of paper and scotch tape would look better.

I see big loops of outside fiber in dire need of cable management.. get that splice case out of the middle of your backboard, and off to the side where it belongs, assuming you even need it, I'm betting that a fiber patchbay would be more appropriate.. mount the other one next to it, if you still need it, and properly dress the fiber.

I'd also clean up the racks, and bolt the three blue ones together as a unit. Get some shelves for the pc's instead of the stack-in-a-rack, so you can get to them without having to topple the entire stack.

Send the e-waste to recycling.. most of the cabletron stuff in the blue racks is so obsolete that the only thing it is good for is scrap value. I don't know about the units in the white rack.

Paul as always good to see all the stuff you score, but seriously man you need to clean up that website! So many spelling issues. Not very professional. And yes some cable management is in order
