Look what I got for my room today...awesome or what?

[Bryce]

So, found this guy on Craigslist and look what I got today for FREE. Now, to figure out what works and what everything is. I'm esp. curious to this music control panel thingy. Here comes the geek pr0n.

What was that last thing? Some kind of locker?

Not enough depth to really tell, but I'd guess it's a 19" telco or DJ rack.

19" cabinet. It's a server rack I think. Looks about as deep as my fingertips to where my arm bends, about 15" or more?

Sounds like a DJ rack. (Or a "media rack".)

A proper 42U-type server cabinet would be much deeper than that, as you're accommodating the box and cables AND cable-management.

Either way, that's great.

What I wouldn't have killed to have that server rack back in the day when I used rackmount keyboard sequencers, mixers, and sample machines for musiic. >,> There were never enough rack units to house enough of that shit! I am jealous, sir! Your second machine appears to be a DAT cue-panel/mixer. I'm not sure how much use you'd get out of it without some other components, but you might have some luck messing around!

 

[Bryce]

Yea, that mixer or whatever it is has a vga output or something similar to it. It also has an s-video port on it to

I'm more interested in the JAZ drive. XD [I still use ZIP drives, just for light not-very-important backups to be stored for a few months at a time.]

Dude, how much do you want for that 19 inch rack? Wow, I would kill for one of those. (What's sad is that I actually have enough equipment to fill a good part of it...)

That's a nice rack

It's not as deep as a server rack, but close to it. I've been seeing em on eBay for around $250.

That's what he said! Sorry, I had to go for "The Office" joke.

nice rack there Brycie boy.
good to hear you got that junk for free, enjoy it
p.s. if you got it for free how did it get to you? postage would be heaps for that

That's pretty much my first though when I saw it. How the heck did you managed to get given one of those? all the ones I've looked are either expensive or too small (depth and height).

I some how doubt they are given out video signals . I am not too sure about audio especially digital audio systems. Surely you can google the make and model and pull up the manual for it or something?

 

[secretdl26]

I have seen something similar at an audio engineer's house, but it was a little shorter. Considering using it for anything in particular?

Found it on craigslist. It's been up there for about 2 months. So, when I drove my dad to Chapel Hill to the dentist we went by and picked it up. It fit nicely in my Vibe lol.

@secretdl26: I'm going to build some shelves for it some day and throw all my crap in it and just run longer cables to my desk.

Yup. That's a server rack :3 My dad hoards these from his office and makes cool stuff out of em.

Actually I saw a nearly similar piece of equipment in my friend's (who is a professional DJ) truck and asked him about it. It's a useful piece of tech to have. Congrats on a good find!

We like to lock people in the server racks sometimes. Its the tech junky version of being stuffed in a locker Gotta have the locking Shark type setup though.

 

[Bryce]

Mine had a lock on it, but it came w/o a key and was locked so I removed it lol.
