        @hank @sa I got 3 high IBM racks with glass doors etc. Main issue: They are designed for airflow, so all stuff inside collects a lot of dust if used in a "normal" room.

        I moved them to our vaulted cellar as storage space. It just fits along the highest part. Down there, the airflow is actually good so there are no issues with dampness/mold.

        @hank @sa fun fact: I got the racks for scrap price (30 bucks per unit) as they are black and all the other racks at that company were grey/white.

                @sa maybe some of the latest liquid-cooled racks will include all the necessary pumps and plumbing for hydroponics? That could be a factor when millions of them are dumped onto eBay for almost nothing. Maybe they'll come with nice GFI breakers, those are $$$.

                    @piggo it's a terrible use of resources and space. a much cheaper rack can give you more space to grow stuff. purpose-built hydroponics trays have much better drainage, which means fewer puddles and less algae.

                    also, you really don't want excessive humidity in a server room. you don't want any leaks there either.

                    @sa @piggo well there can be room voor improvement, but with enough server racks why not have (make) matching parts for growing like this?

                          @sa I just want the RAM, GPUs and SSDs. You can do what you like with the rest.
