Nice. I still remember putting in my first dedicated server "closet". Had dual racks and room to walk around.
I wish its bare more than 24" wide. The door opening with frame sadly is more like 18 so you have to angle stuff to put it in. I might put in rack rails.
The HVAC moving created otherwise unusable space so that's how this got here.
If it is deep enough you could do some sort of vertical mounting where servers slot in on their sides. Would only get 8U max, from the looks of it, but that's a lot of servers for home.

Looks awesome!

Do I spy a Hl-2140? I believe that's what that is. The HL-2040 had a slightly different body design.
It's an HL-2170w. It's 8 or 9 years old now.

Ok, basically the same thing, just the wireless version instead of USB only.

It's wired networking as well. I've never used the wireless. It has the bulit-in Print Server as well as WSD.

WSD...ewww.....
It's very useful for network Scanners. Not so much printers.

All rooms now have Keystone jacks with 1.) Coax Going to the Cable Distribution (currently nothing as I don't have cable just cable internet) 2.) Coax going to antenna distribution. 3. Cat5e jacks, and 1 Phone Jack (It's actually Cat5e now as I replace most of it.) which is all connected to a SIP ATA (no extensions here, no do I care for the cost of IP Phones). In the living room I put two of these jacks on opposing walls. So I have 6 gigabit jacks in my living room haha. Still need to do some touch up paint. And yes, I know the Jacks and the outlets don't line up. Sadly. I just took out the gang box the Cat3 for the phones were in and put in low voltage brackets. They Phone outlets were already misaligned. It's a lot of fun pulling these (sarcasm) as we have both a finished attic and a finished basement.

Also had a little more excitement today. My old drill died on me in the middle of drilling so, the 4.5ft long flexible drill bit was stuck in the wall until I went to home depot to buy a new one.

Ubiquiti Mport and Temperature sensor has be ordered to use mFI to turn on a fan if needed and and off if not needed from the PDU. and also to hard kill everything if a it gets too hot.
I plan on making two vents something similar to this. One at the top and one at the bottom. http://www.addicted2decorating.com/how-to-make-a-custom-wood-air-return-vent-cover.html

It was less than $100 for both the sensor and the mPort (which puts the serial devices on TCP/IP)
