Im about to become a proper geek
« on: April 17, 2007, 06:30:13 PM »
  So I have a closet of parts that could more or less make a few PC's, I also have an angry girlfriend that wants more closet space.  Other than the obvious option of kicking the angry girlfriend to the curb I am building my own 18U rack.  I found some rails rather cheap online, and when all is said and done I should have a very nice looking rack for under $100.  Most of my stuff I need a case for, and I found a few decent 4U ATX cases for cheap.

I think I have to disagree that you are a geek.  You have a girlfriend.  That automatically nullifies your geekiness.  You may be able to attain some form of geekiness but it will take much more than a rack in your house. 
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

Technically, with the girlfriend, it'll be two racks.  :2thumbsup:

Well he does mention introducing his girlfriend to the curb.... maybe there is still hope for his conversion to Geekism.

Considering her Veganism tendancies and lack of real milk in the house, maybe he will think about it Agent.

Does having a wife nullify my status as a geek? :headscratch:
That's Mr. Deception to you.

If you bought her through a mail order service from Russia, then no. Otherwise it's taken on a case by case basis.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
