LACK RACK HACK

Hello there! We from the eth0 community in the Netherlands have an interesting low-cost hack, featuring the IKEA LACK (table, you've probably seen it in various ways already)

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 ( http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/LackRack ) and at http://lackrack.org (which redirects to the wiki page)

An excerpt from our wiki: "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-fit datacenter building block. It's a little known fact that we have seen Google engineers tinker with Lack tables since way back in 2009."

The Lack tables have also been used in the Lounge area at Hacking At Random 2009, however, not as a rack
