RE: Racking the 'puter
ok,.... depends
1. many racks are designed to be shallow in height to maximise rack space, and cannot use silent coolers cos they aren't tall enuff inside... noise isnt an issue in a server room so they might not be tall enuff inside
2. rack server power-supplies.... usualy hot-swappable but not designed for noise and the special rear case mounting slots for swappable p/s's isnt able to accept a standard p/s unit
so it maybe you have to buy a specialy dedicated 'media pc' rack which costs more but will allow use of a tall cooler and quiet p/s

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
