What not to do in a server room

Found via Digg, What not to do in a Server Room. I thought the hardware people among theDailyWTF might get a kick out of it.

The author of that series has forgotten one of the most important WTFs - floppy drives. You need them on some servers to get RAID up and running.

The floppies are probably hanging off a pounch on the side of the monitor facing away from the camera. Plug in, degauss, and you're good to go.

Or held in place on the rack with a magnet.

Bah, I've seen much worse. After 17 years, my theory is that computer rooms are doomed to entropy. When it's new, the cables are neat and labelled and everything's in it's place. Come back in 5 years and you can't find your a$$ with both hands in that room.
I had the misfortune once to be working for a company that bought a new building and relocated us all. They insisted on installing not only a water sprinkler system in the server room, but also carpeting. I was out of there soon after, though.
