For the past week I've been putting up with a lot of grief at work. One of the other deputies has been rubbing in to me the fact he located a free glass case that he was going to convert into a gun display case. He kept telling me how it would make a great snake cage but that I would never have the chance to do it, since it was his find.
Tonight, he call me to get my address. Seems he took his wife with him when he went to pick it up. Once his wife saw it she informed him it would not enter her house and especially her livingroom.
He pulled up in my driveway and I was speechless(yes, me speechless). This thing is huge. It's a very large computer server rack. I'm guessing it has a value of 4 to 5,000.00 dollars. It's also very, very heavy. Did I mention it was heavy. It's actually 3 server racks connected. Each case has it's own set of wheels. While I stood there looking at it, the cogs were turning. What if I gut it and lay it one its side. This way the glass door will hinge to the bottom and hang completely out of the way. I can build wooden inserts to slide in to each rack. It comes with built in cooling fans for ventilation. When I gut this thing I'll also get 4 very nice power stripes. and heavy duty plug-ends. The big chore will be gutting this thing and taking it apart. I can't wait to get started.
That do you think?


Here's the thing on it's side.
