I'm curious about this suggestion.
Would vacuum sealing the bags provide any additional benefit?
I'm thinking of the ambient humidity that would be trapped inside the inner plastic bag... both in it's direct effects on the media, and it's possible effects through indirect exposure to the outside steam.
The rack part is easy enough. The difficult part of the request for a home-built project is providing the power suppl[y|ies] that can provide the appropriate power to all of the motherboards and devices.
Any electronics gurus out there who can toss in some links to some schematics on making centralized, clean, safe power available?
The security officer should not have root-equiv. access for the same reason that a sys. admin.'s login account should not have it.
Further, if the intent is to have a checks & balances system to be able to audit you, the password used should be auditable. Generate it on a dot-matrix printer, so it isn't known to anyone (paystub -esque). Put that behind locked glass, so that there is physical evidence that the password has been compromissed. This sounds extreme, but no one but an SA needs day-to-day access to any system.
A quick search netted a combination of MetroX and multiple Matrox G200 cards. DVI is supported. Metrolink has been very responsive to customer service issues in my experience.
Does XFree86 support multiple #9 cards? Since #9 support is dwindling all over (I think they are out of business...), drivers would be a large issue.
I think I would approach this from choosing an X server, and then purchasing supported DVI cards. The LCD panel is up to user taste from there.
Kensington's TurboBall is also good. Nothing compares to their discontinued line of trackballs that used what was (nearly) a cue ball for control, but I guess cost prevailed.
Get an E450 (or two). These are wonderful boxes, and Linux is well supported. I have to admit I would personally run Solaris in nearly any conceivable situation on this hardware though...
I hope gtk/FB developers make applications compile in both X and FB environments. I have become very dependant on running applications on whichever $DISPLAY makes the most sense at the time.
It is my understanding that the GPL allows the author(s) to profit from their work. What it would protect is a potential publishing company from withdrawing public availability of the original work.
I am sure you are already aware of the IOS "simulators" available with various training products. If this isn't sufficient for your needs, I would suggest heading to ebay to buy an old (upgradable rom) router. Without the interfaces, the IOS isn't terribly useful.
I agree with the above posts about refresh rate and (lack of) brightness, but don't forget about the color/reflectivity of your desktop. Also, the type and brightness of ambient light factors in.

Here is a group that has done a coop (of sorts...). Link

Xi graphics also has a similar setup.

I'm sure this doesn't relate to your proejct, but it is somewhat in the same vein. IBM OS/390 Unix services
It certainly isn't open source, but Tivoli's SANergy product, running with fcal or fibre fabric -attached storage is perfect for this.
I second this suggestion. Easy to learn, hard to master.
This is GREAT news. Every sysadmin should have one of these.

How is it illegal? Most states are at-will for their legal base. An employer can fire anyone at any time. Of course the reverse is true as well.
You better run the numbers before you buy. The bulbs can be incredibly expensive, and they typically do not last very long (200-500 hrs).
Was this truly a spam email, or is it actually /. spam, advertising the registrar?
