My boxes
I like to be spend some of my spare time playing with computers. After some years doing that ad a hobbyist and for work, I ended with a huge lot of old hardware I put back into life. These are my boxes.
I put a note for each box explaining where the name I used for it comes from. This is probably the funniest part of being a system administrator.
