Is this just a random coincidence? Is there some explainable reason why the dimension is perfect? Surely IKEA did not have this use in mind when originally designing this?
Truly magical piece of furniture.
> and you can put your bottle of Club-Mate Damn it, now you're really making me pine! Why must this stuff be so hard to get in the US? Last I checked there were two different companies handling distribution in the US and NEITHER of them seem to stock it anywhere! Except for one shop in LA that half the time carries expired bottles! The caffeine high from Club-Mate is such a pleasantly sublime feeling. And you used to…
Try other maté-based drinks, variations of yerba mate beverages can be found in most US grocery stores (with increasing availability over the past several years). I can't stand any of the carbonated ones I've tried in the US, but they are out there.
I've even had some progress making my own carbonated mate drink, but it can be hard to get the flavor right
I feel like everyone else is using a different Lack than I've seen at IKEA, they're made of flimsy fiberboard that feels like it's going to fall apart at any moment. I tried making a printer enclosure and gave up because it felt like it would collapse from a strong breeze. If you're going to put in all this work, you should probably use better materials from the beginning.
Also works great as a 3D printer enclosure https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118
Lack is made out of super cheap particle board. Is it stable enough to sit the 3D printer on? I would assume it would add some errors to the printing process.
In the article linked at the end > https://spuder.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/lack-rack/ you can read (emphasis by me): "If you decide to make your own, pay attention to which size lack rack you get. IKEA strangely offers 2 slightly different sizes 22 inch and 21 5/8 inch." In my opinion the explanation for this is clear: 22 is a round number in inches and 21 5/8 inch is nearly a round number in centimeters (21,625 inch…
I'm not setting my oven to 176 degrees Celsius even if I could.
I don't think "pictured above" means what they think it means as the image above is an outline drawing showing no wood texture whatsoever.
Has the editorial process really fallen to this level? (Hint: Yes it has)

can somebody with more server/home server experience explain to me the benefit of going with a rackmount setup vs let's say, just building a second PC to use as a home server? I recently bought a house and am excited to get into home networking/home server work, but don't know anything about rack mount. Is rackmount equipment cheaper than regular consumer PC hardware?
Most rackmount servers have some sort of remote management interface, which makes it a lot easier to work with them on a headless basis. Pitfalls: Server-class hardware can take a very long time to POST, as they're intended to run 24x7, and (especially 1U and 2U boxes) tend to have extremely loud fans. If you want a quiet server, your best bet is to build it up from a server motherboard and a 4U case, and use quiet f…
Consumer-class hardware is more often built with the assumption that it's going to get thrown in an all-glass case starved of airflow, so they put heatsinks everywhere and expect specific air pathways in a standard atx case.
You're probably fine to go either way really, but the hardware is probably going to have a lower lifetime by going for slower airflow.
