im sorry i this is a stupid qwestion, but why do you need a data center in your bacement?

@jedirex52 LOL, nope, it's not a stupid question! I originally had my home server, switch and firewall PC up in my office. I wanted to make some room so I decided to put it all in the basement. One thing led to another and I ended finding a great deal on the rack ($70) and the rest is history. The two rack mounted servers (Dell and HP) were added later. I tinker around with them when I have time.

Nice network setup! We would like to offer you a complimentary ATEN KVM switch to replace your TRENDnet model. Let us know if you are interested.

I had one of those netgear 5 port gig switches, it failed after a year so I replaced it with a tplink which was cheaper and performed better.

@thiscouldbecool1986 I've had mine for almost 3 years now with no major issues. I am considering adding a rack-mounted gigabit switch to my rig, maybe in the future.

I'm working on a server rack in my apartment. 21 servers. I'm starting a hosting company.

@ATENTECHNOLOGY Aw wow, you know I have a small networking rack with 1 server and some other things, you should see if you can get me something.

@AMEXD1 No, sorry - when I bought my 1650 I insisted that it had all parts, including the bezel.
