minus-squarePeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoI wonder how easy it is to get used server racks, and how cheap they are 🤔
minus-squareflambonkscious@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·2 months agoI reckon the electricity is the real killer (and the noise!)
minus-squaregibson@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 months agoDefinitely the noise. Jesus Christ the noise…
minus-squarecouch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoI found one on craigslist. Half rack fully enclosed with door on front and back for $200. Had an UPS in the bottom that didn’t work… it just needed new batteries lol. Have a truck on hand to pick up and you can find a bargain.
