I think I missed about a cooling system. All that equipment will put out a lot of heat which will cause the fans to run more and put out a lot more noise.

And he keeps his intallation 1 year, and then he must pay the electricity and will know !

shut up and take my money!!

I hope he doesn't have to move out anytime soon.

awesome but he should have made an acces to the back of the rack. wonder what total cost and time was

Please... How 00s... Given that the drive [and technology currently] is moving smaller and smaller, who the heck would bother building a rack. I took mine down ages ago and centralized the bulk of my media needs to one system.

He should have bought an iPad and Angry Birds. Like everyone else...

Very nice. Wow. The only missing link is Tonido. Install Tonido in the Home Server and access it from anywhere.

yaawwwn..feeling insecure ?? buy a gun.. this is america..need an entertainment system ?? buy a flatscreen and a gaming system...its 2012 ..are we still building racks to contain unnecessary electric bs home servers?? really with the lighting too?? wasted time and lots of effort..thats just my opinion

Wow, that took me back. I had something similar in the 90's, but now what used to occupy a whole rack sits neatly in a small cube on the bookshelf.
