Yeah, thanks for all the recommendations about the laundry room.  I
think finding a closet, is probably the best idea.  I have to figure out
which I can commandeer.

I mentioned to my wife that I wanted to put a bunch of the computers in
the laundry room, and though she wasn't planning on using the space,
she's now very protective of it :)  Anyone know a dryer that will also
double as a NAS?

One thing that should work "in theory" is getting a big metal box,
filling it with oil, and dropping all the components in there.  Has
anyone tried something like that?
