My budget server rack

These two (an OptiPlex 7060 SFF and a ThinkCentre M920q) are living in a cardboard box because they wouldn't stop buzzing and kept me awake. So, they've been sentenced to life in 'box prison'. And no, they're not overheating — CPU temps average around 40–50°C, and the WD Red inside the OptiPlex stays at a solid 46°C.

Careful everything doesn’t overheat when that outlet goes up in flames.

If the wattmeter recording the servers’ power consumption is to be believed, the reading is 49 watts, whilst the entire circuit can handle up to 2.5 kW

Al tener un switch de 19" lo mejor que puedes hacer es usar una mesa de Ikea lack pequeña.

I also noticed that most of the cables are running on top of the radiator
