Awww, why not? 

It =would= make a nice Christmas present........sort of an erector set and uber build your own computer kit in one.....  :P

 

You could always point to the date on the original rendergarden's pic; I -started-  swapping out the desktop cases for 4u rackmount cases late that year (go with 3u; you can get standard PC components, including processor heatsink, in one with no problems, and 5 of them will go in the space that four 4u cases will, with 1 u to spare). I only got the rack very late year before last. I wasn't planning a rack, the rackmounts were just so much easier to get into than a desktop case. And the place I got all but the rackframe from has gone offline.....

anyway, that has been a multi year project, which is the only way I could ever afford it.
