We kept the house systems running during renovations, but we were limited in space, so we stacked them in the corner of the server room.
A second rack is going into place. More servers. Nifty new tape backup system. Insane battery backup capacity.
They're probably going to need a bigger room soon.

"in progress" pictures of the utility room clean up project (or my server room as I prefer to call it). Both the wall cabinet and the rack are mounted and the wiring is basically finished.

What is this animal doing back here?
Ok, not really. :-) This is the back of one of the rows of servers in my data room. We're not the neatest shop in the world but you don't want to see what it looked like before I got my hands on it. We are moving out operations to a hosted data center soon but we'll always have a number of servers in the office for dev and hosting. It'll be nice to not have to worry about production servers, though, as the data center staff will be responsible.
