New server rack with A/C...

[Parkre]

I just got one...free. I had pull out all the special cords and special power supplies, but I got that done. Now it's just a 6' rack with an AC unit attached to the side. And it spits out cold air.

But now that I've gotten it, I not sure what to with it. I am more of a gamer than anything, so originally I just want the AC unit. It's about 5" wide, 20" tall, and maybe 30" deep. It blows straight into the rack. It's a solid steel rack design for extreme off-road conditions put in the back of a what most people think is a garbage truck. And yes, we do go off-road and mudding with these "garbage trucks" just to get to our location.

So, any ideas what to do with this awesome rack?

pics?

not yet. As soon as I get it home.

But it's steel blue and really good condition.

You will need to vent the hot exhaust air somewhere, which would likely involve modifications of your off-road vehicle. Hopefully, you won't be cutting holes in the vehicle's walls.

No, It's not for my off-road vehicle. It came off a Logger (not wood logs), but data aquisition for gas and oil wells.

Venting it wouldn't be a problem.

My only problem is that I don't have enough computers or pc racks to fill it up. And what would I do with 5 or 6 computers.

I could incorporate a media pc, my gaming pc, a downloading machine, but then what else? I don't really need all three into one rack.

I have no idea, what I would even do if I had that rack. Just put whatever you can into it to make it look 'cool' I guess. Do you have anywhere you want to put it?

wait... what did you do with all the "special cords and power supplies"? sounds like an awsome find.

 

[Parkre]

naw, they were proprietary stuff for our tools. Nothing special other than they are very expensive.

But does anybody have any idea with what to do with it?
