Wonder if anyone will come up with a smaller rackmount standard anytime soon? 3com and dlink both have a hacked together kind of proprietary stacking system going on, but that's nothing compared to the potential of, say, a 12" standard-width cabinet specification.

Also, anyone know if electricians nowadays are savvy with wiring in ethernet when you get a house re-wired? Wireless is great and all, but there's still a lot to be said for patch panels available throughout, and I think there always will be since wired tech is probably going to continue to be a few steps ahead of wireless.

I'm not considering this for my current place (renting ATM, and it's a dive), but it's something to consider for when I finally jump on the mortgage bandwagon and get my own place.

I might still build a rackmount setup for a download/media server and some hifi kit, though.

i have a few buddy's that rigged there own racking and etc in there Home Teater setup with there router, modem, HTPC and etc, i must say, when i get my own place, i will be doing that as well..

As for the standard, no i havent seen anything set at all, Everything that one manufacturer makes will fit togeather, but that leaves the end user Fucked if he dosent like some of the products or etc.

I hope they start adopting it as well.. only time will see
