Have i gone too far?

I always believed that the best way to learn is by getting hands on experience, but i feel i may have gone a little too far, one portion of my room currently resembles the following.

And this is only half of it...The Cisco Lab is going on top!!!

But it has taught me 100 times more than ive learnt from the myriad of MS/Comptia/HP certifications and accreditations.

BTW: Is one of your hard drives dead in that server?

Global online hot spare

Looks like an impressive Compaq server though. If you're learning a lot and you can afford the costs then I say go for it!

Youll be supprised the server above is an Compaq ML370 pre HP days but its only first generation, HP are currently at generation 4 on most server class platforms.

But for £200 ive got 6 * 18.2Gb SCSI Hard drive configurable as Raid 1/0/5, a solid platform, Dual CPU capability and the HP management features, i admit that this system wouldnt do must good as a file/print server in a large environment but could still provide redundant functions for a domain or small business.

The present version of this server goes for arround the £1500 mark.
