On the "stupid racking" front, I give you most of a rack dedicated to a single server. Not all that high a server, maybe 2U or so, but *way* too deep for the rack, so it had been installed vertically. By looping some fairly hefty chain through the handles on either side of the front of the chassis, and then bolting the four chain ends to the four rack posts. I wish I'd kept pictures of that one. Not flammable, but a serious WTF moment. Cheers, Tim.
