@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.
