The Lack rack hack
This LackRack hack is from the eth0 community in the Netherlands. They have an interesting hack to house a modular datacentre, sneakily under a Lack side table. Now, if only there's a solution for all those wires!
"The LackRack is the ultimate, low-cost, high shinyness solution for your modular datacenter-in-the-living-room. Featuring the Lack (side table) from Ikea, the LackRack is an easy-to-implement, exact-fitdatacenter building block. It's a little known fact that we have seen Google engineers tinker with Lack tables since way back in 2009.
This one is different. During our last LAN 'party' (eth0:2010 Winter) we've used the Lack table as a 19" rack you commonly find in data centers. We call it the LackRack and you can find more info on it on our
wiki page and at http://lackrack.org."
before you shop. By simply starting from here, you'll tell Amazon to throw a few coins in my tip jar, with no change in your shopping experience or total bill.

Pero bueno!!! como molaaaaa....
Also a lot of music studio equipment use 19" racks so it would work just as well for your home studio I guess.
Do LACK tables have hollow legs? It might be possble to thread the cables down them...
I presume this wouldn't be able to hold much weight? Server equipment is usually pretty heavy
haha. this looks ghetto
I don't think I would trust a 7 dollar table to hold thousands worth of server equipment.
Some network (e.g. switches and routers) equipment is usually a lot lighter than servers. Usually the network products targeting the Workgroup market are reasonably light in mass.
The table is already on the package, that is cool because I knew that for such a data center or server to be built, the one that will be use are network rack. This seems to be nice especially at home.
