Yes, have a proper rack mount server case up in the loft.  I also have a beautiful glass fronted rack in an alcove behind a curtain in the dining room.  My lovely son left it behind when he got married.  Of course there isn't enough room in the 4 bedroom house they have bought, but there is in my 2 bed bungalow. Kids, don't you just love them.

I might just put some pics on as I do things, that section has been too quiet lately.

Thanks for the heads up, just bought one myself

Plan to replace an existing Gigabyte Opteron board with this as that doesn't support processors much past 2Ghz

Had major grief with it as Windows was blue screening due to it not supporting ACPI, or so it said
Updated the BIOS to the latest one on Arima/Rioworks website, which was a job in itself due to manufacturers still expecting you to use floppy disks , still no joy.
Some googling later and I found a helpful thread which pointed me to an even newer BIOS on Rackable's FTP site. Installed that and it was up and running

If you want the link to the working BIOS then let me know

I don't think so as it's a server BIOS so settings are a bit sparse

I tried various methods of making a bootable CD with DOS and the firmware files but it didn't like any of those. Finally connected up an old floppy drive and did it the old fashioned way.
