[AusNOG] Off Topic: 42RU rack full of Cisco stuff....

Wed Dec 21 09:52:55 EST 2011

I did the whole convince the better half as well during an extension
we've just finished...

Existing 12RU under the existing part of the house where the lead-in's
all terminate, cabling patch panels plus router and PoE switch

Then I added the 32RU rack under the extension for the 'cloud' lab with
a set of servers and a couple of switches and another couple of routers,
new 20A outlets etc on separate circuits, UPS...

All was going well, then I turned it on and the 'dungeon' warms up a
tad, then the server fans kick into high gear and you can hear them in
the new master bedroom above.... 

Whoops!

		I'm glad I'm not the only one Matt. Have a 24RU cabinet
in the linen closet in our new house too.. Suits the 100A 3 Phase
nicely. :-)

		My wife just walked in, looked at it, and turned around
and walked out.

		Kind Regards
