Put the skeleton of the server rack in my office and racked my UPS, webserver and home automation proxmox enclosure. Oh it’s ever so handsome, even if I haven’t done the sides yet or finished stuffing it with delicious goodies.

(the sides were those pieces I was template routing last week. Not sure if want to carve or applique or paint, still mulling the baroque ideas. But I knew for certain I wanted the farkin’ servers off my goddamn office floor, so I templated them so I could populate the frame)

If you are going for baroque, I must insist that there be gilded papiermache cherubs at the corners - preferably blowing trumpets. Some nice scrollwork would be an advantage I feel. Strap & jewel work might not be quite the right vibe, but you can’t go wrong with roundels.

  I am also considering a ridiculous mash of victorian cyberpunk and floral themes. The two apetures are going to be pop off windows, but i can get wonderfully baroque or gothic window films that I can put on the Perspex that’s going to be the windows. Also going to backlight them very subtly.

    Oooh, go hogwild! I would be very tempted to let Grinling Gibbons be my guide (see example) - but Victorian steampunk sounds pretty damn fantastic.
