[Swansea Hackspace] Old rack servers

[David Davies-Day]

Hi Allan, would the rack mount casings take non server motherboard?

I'm helping a l friend who needs to rack mount a high end gaming setup for portability, he is happy to bring it to the space for us all to have a play with, maybe even host an OCCULS RIFT experience event.

Hi Allan, I may be interested in some of the hardware. Where about are you? I may be able to collect them this afternoon.

Best,
Gwion.
