    Assuming your RaQ is one of these, I thought it would have to be mutually inclusive of a rack - otherwise where else would you mount it?!?

    No I don't have a rack (enclosure) in which to mount my RaQ (Cobalt) that is currently hiding behind the sofa... but will now be mounted into my LACKRACK coffee table of win (see wanted section).

    OK, I think I finally get it now.

    How's the Coffee Table of Win coming now? I still have a couple of Socket As without motherboards if you need any more of specific colour - although I think I might only have purples now...

    I have enough to cover the table, just need to sit down and sort through what I've got so I can plan a pattern... and clean them all up!

    Re: LackRack: Ikea server racks for living room datacenters

    I thought a rack was slang for part of the anatomy - if that wasn't the correct interpretation I'll make sure i get my coat before 'jim.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
