Rack your Xserve RAID with Ikea furniture

I just spent a good chunk of my morning wrestling with rack equipment, so I really apprecitate Fraser Speirs Ikea 'rack' for his Xserve RAID. He does point out that the Xserve RAID is loud, but not as loud as he thought it would be.

I'm really tempted to try this myself, but sadly my budget is all Ikea and no Xserve.

"What does this guy do that he's lucky enough to justify buying an X-Serve RAID for what looks to be his home?"

I second this. I'd love to need one, but with my cable connection (at home) I couldn't fill that xserve nor serve what was on it.

Do tell!

Livin the dream, and I'm totally jealous.

I bought an Ikea desk for my iMac. With it's simple style and maple color it makes me feel like I'm at an Apple store. :-) All I need are some of those cool banners to hang on my wall.

I should post to TUAWs flikr pool I hear you all saying.
