RE: Take a look at my rack.

Ah nice! Your I/T nerd is definitely sticking out with this setup! ;) amazing to hear all the things that are being done for you by each of those components. Automated shutters?! The propeller on top of my hat is spinning with envy on the capacity of the storage array too.

I prefer non-rack mounted ups for the cost savings. Especially when it comes time to replace the batteries. Considering they have to be replaced every few years, I have pulled each apart and the rack mount ones were all prohibitively complicated to replace the cells. I sell them to businesses because they should budget a few hundred dollars every few years for the protection of their devices and availability of services. At home, I am too cheap for that!

Love the hive witness in there too. That is something so tempting for me to look into but I have to stop myself. Too many projects as it is and I am happy to support the witnesses for now.

I want a beanie with a propeller on it, like in Philip K Dicks' Ubik.

I think the desire for the rackmount UPS comes more from a desire for it to look tidier. They're probably also much louder than the home style tower units, and given this rack sits in my office and is generally pretty quiet, that's a peace I dont want to ruin.
