That's not a bad idea. When I was doing some work in the crawlspace a
couple of summers ago I noticed that the support span running the length
of the house has vertical 2x4s spaced very close to 19" apart. That got
me thinking that I could make a simple plywood shelf and have myself a
cheap and cool rack setup. :-)
Unfortunately my server has the tape drive, and my workstation case
doesn't have a spare 5.25" drive bay. I might revisit this idea when I
finally save up the bucks to build a new workstation using a Lian Li case.
