A week ago a friend of mine donated a vitrine to our apartment, and today I’ve been working with converting it into a server closet. The first thing that needed to be done was to turn the back of the vitrine into Swiss cheese to be able to ventilate the computer-generated heat from the cupboard.
And here is the final result. The vitrine contains one server, a stereo, DSL modem and some other stuff, while the vinyl player and cordless telephone is located on the outside. The upper part is still empty, but I and my room-mates will probably find something to put into something in it. I am very satisified with the result, and the living room has been much cleaner now that almost all the cables have become hidden in the furniture.
