[QUOTE="murankar, post: 169685, member: 274"] URI was my nickname when I was long hauling in Iraq for the army. It stuck all these years. It came to be because of the game Command and Conquer. It's my favorite game franchise. As for the the server, most rack mount servers rely on the front and back of the server to be open. The air flow is from front to back. If you run most rack mount servers with their lids off they will burn out. So its imparritive to keep the front and back open. The server is 29 inches deep, the table is 24 inches deep, so the backend sticks out and has unrestricted exhaust flow. Now there are inlets in the lid near the front. The ply wood in that spot is warped but is not noticeable. So it can draw air into those inlets. If I need to I can cut the wood down another eighth inch or so to drop the server down if needed. My server is not under heavy load either. If I was to bring up my idrac I could show you how little heat i make. I have 6 vms running all the time. They are at idle mostly so the server isn't really working yet. It will be shortly once I get everything locked down and start learning the network side and security stuff. Kali linux will be my intrusion / hacker test box. [/QUOTE]
