Building a Desktop Case for a Rackmount Server | Proof of Concept | Part 1
You can get an extremely powerful rackmount server for dirt cheap off eBay. A 40 core 80 thread machine will cost you about $500 USD. Though this sounds like an incredible deal, most people will still shy away from these bargain behemoths and instead build something with a fraction of the power for the same price.
I think one of the main reason mainstream consumers tend to stay away from enterprise servers mainly has to do with their form factor. Chances are, you don't have a server rack at home and you don't want to buy a desktop rack because they look terrible. Today, we are going to try to solve this issue by building a wooden case to house this HP ProLiant in.
