Are You in the Geek Army?

http://www.lockergnome.com/hardware/2011/12/12/why-military-surplus-stores-ar...

If you've never been to a military surplus store, you may have a vague idea of it being a shady hangout for paranoid survivalists and fringe militia groups. While you may very well encounter this element there, you're just as likely to run into creeps and weirdos at the 7-11 or Denny's. (They're everywhere, man! Everywhere!) What you're definitely going to find, however, is good, well-made merchandise at flea market prices. From garments to tools to footwear built to last, military surplus stores can cover many of a frugal geek's needs.

I found a very nice use for ammo cases (large ones, have you). I have made one into a computer case for a small single rack server. It works well as a heat sync. and it sits in my basement, running my FTP, SSH, and VPN services :)
