Finally, I found a rack to migrate the PCs I use in my bunker and take up less space, once the appropriate case were found (not so easy). This is the rack cabinet that was given to me by an office... old but still as robust as a tank. The front plexiglass luckily still had the protective film, while unfortunately there were no side panels, which I plugged with PVC sheets cut to size.
Then, a couple of friends of mine gave me a patch panel and a nice rack-mount 10/100 passive ethernet switch, by Allied Telesis:
...and this oldie, a rack case full of hardware, that however I will have to disassemble to be able to put other inside - perhaps the components of my main PC (the case is ATX friendly) or those of the PC that I use with FreeNAS, waiting to find an additional case of the same kind.
Investigating the content, I found a strange AGP video card, mounted on the Asus A7V266 inside: at first I thought it was a Matrox, but the writing "ORI RGB" tells me little. The outputs are 2xBNC + 1xVGA and there is also a daughterboard with a sort of parallel-like port. Nice little audio speakers in one of the frontal drives bay. I think the PC was used for video-editing or sort of. If there's anyone who knows more about this VGA, I would appreciate to know.
First comes smiles,
then lies.
Last is gunfire.
