      My servers and everything else are down in the basement.

      A server in a damp environment? What could possibility go wrong? 😄

      Maybe it's a finished basement?

        I've got an office. but stuff's just everywhere. my servers are only for testing, they're in a rack. network gear is whatever. i'm going to pro it up sometime this year. just an ERL and maybe a small ubiquity switch.

          I ornately painted plywood and screwed it into my wall (behind TV in living room) as art. I then mounted a half-rack with my firewall/switch/patch panel. My place is a two story loft style town house so I ran cabling through a runner up the wall and into my bedroom where my server is (4 cat5e cables).

            The hospital I used to work at had these plastic grates that elevated the towers off of the ground. I want to get my PC off of the carpet for obvious reasons. Any ideas? I have a glass desk FYI.

                  My network infrastructure basically looks like this. DO and Vultr VPS servers and Pertino networking.

                    What I have used for the last several years,.. both at home and in the office.

                    In the last apartment we had, I mounted it to the side/back of a short bookcase.

                      I've got it easy ... my home "LAB" is a Desktop running Hyper-V, lol.

                      What about your modem, router, AP, and switch?

                      My Router is also my AP and switch. It is located next to my cable modem in a cabinet beneath my TV. 🙂

                      No wired connections anywhere, as wireless does surprisingly well in my house. I am currently planning a wired deployment, but I am seriously wondering if I need it anywhere other than my "computer room".

                        I have everything in one of the rooms of the house which is also my "office." Our basement sucks and my wife would never approve of having a rack server plus switches and cables anywhere other than that room upstairs.

                          Hide? Why hide your art.... would you tell VanGogh to put his paintings in a closet?

                            Why are the cables so long? Where they out of black zip ties?

                              My art is just bland and looks like I put it together 10 years ago... Oh wait... Most of it was, lol.

                                Cables are what I have acquired over the years,.. and I didn't feel like cutting and terminating them.

                                No, not out of black. just the only color I have..
