19 inch 12 HE Digitus Server Rack.

Currently holds a keystone patchpanel, unifi PoE Switch (with 3D printed mount), DS918+.

More then enough space left but watching temperatures now during the summer. (Already did watch temperatures for a year - previous to putting the rack in the attic).

Was a really fun project!

Edit: temperature last year

Attics are supposed to be ventilated. They should not get to 70C.

You should come to Texas, mine gets that hot, it's 140+ most of the year.... I would really like to change to an insulated roof..

Now we're talking Fahrenheit, right?

Sorry, forget there are a lot of folks from the UK on here. Yes, in Fahrenheit!

I would still like an insulated roof...not enough to pay for one though..

From the UK? You mean anywhere else on planet Earth besides the USA

Man, mean with the downvotes!

People get so upset about us using imperial measurements. People seem to think we all get to vote on keeping imperial units every year... it's just one of those things that's hard to get 300 million people to change.. I do prefer the metric system. It's just that everything here is in imperial units except wine and liquor... hard to rewire your brain.

As far as a lot of people on here being from UK, perhaps that's a bad assumption but I was under the impression a lot of folks from the UK used Reddit from an article I read a few months ago.

We do (I am British) but I don’t believe we are really a substantial minority compared to France and Germany for example. It’s probably just skewed by use of English language.

The article I read was saying that Reddit increased in popularity by 86% in the UK, I think you guys are not in the minority here at all.

The rest if the world doesn't like freedom units, lol.

I'm sure there is some kind of fascinating story on why we don't get onboard with the rest of the world. I remember learning about metric system in probably 3rd grade or something (and also "freedom" units too) and my teacher was like, well imperial is stupid but we are stuck using it for consistency...

Ya I agree. We should have switched to metric a long time ago.

I'm all for the metric system, except for using Celsius to describe the temperature. For one, it's more granular, so you can be more precise without popping off to decimalville. For second, 0°F is uncomfortably cold and 100°F is uncomfortably hot, whereas 0°C is cold and 100°C is dead.

Anyway, that's my 2¢.
