Not real fancy but I can work out and listen to music in peace.

this is in the process of being packed up :( old photos...like 2007 so the equipment shown is not all current hardware. equipment is from 1999 other than the projector.

Here's mine, kinda messy, I need to build some shelving or something. Holding off as I have an idea for the server room which will also double as plenty of shelving space. The foil on the windows is to keep the govment and terists out.






If you notice at the very end, there's an opening...

That is a mini crawlspace under the garage, how cool is that? It used to look like this. It would make a decent shelter in the unlikely event we had a tornado or hurricane.



server "room". Planning to finish that area eventually.


Another view


Patch panel... I badly need a rackmount switch with vlan capability to replace all those little ones.


My not so good cable management... I plan to build a "frame" around the rack which will include some decent cable management system and a built in PDU, so did not bother putting too much time into it only to redo later.

Ive had bad dreams about places like this. Finding hidden rooms in a home you have owned for decades. They usually contain bodies or are haunted. :eek:

Minecraft or torrent server? :sneaky:

No mincraft, but there is a dev and test environment for my UO server, and there is also a "Linux distro download" server. :sneaky:

I actually have 5ish vms running at anytime. That big SAN you see I got for free, I don't really use it for production, it's more like a giant external hard drive. I turn it on once in a while, run a backup job, then turn it off. I can't add my own disks to it, so as they fail, I'm kinda screwed. It looks cool though. :biggrin: Fiber channel too.

Eh, not really a cave, but it's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's hard to find a decent cave in Vancouver. Crappy cellphone pics:
