[Gllug] home server rack - quiet options

[John Hearns]

John, the 19 inch rack standard predates the audio industry of course!

AFAIK (and without Googling) it is the standard for telephone relay racks.
I would guess that Colossus itself was built on 19in racks - given
that Tommy Flowers was an engineer from the Post Office at Dollis
Hill.

I too have always wanted a Canford wine rack.
