I think the most good looking part of that is the Storageworks pizza box.
Oh yes, those are fantastic. We just got a few of those at LSSM not

Yes, those are great. The only issue with them is that their AC power
supplies have started dropping like flies, and while I can SEE the
capacitor that has failed, I cannot reasonably get to it to replace it.
There is a big metal cage, which doubles as a heat sink, over the
entire board that is soldered to it at several places.
We now have a stack of six that have failed.
