	Read all the pictures and then the text at the bottom of the
article?
	This is a very specialized item (rendering farm) but a few years
back when everything was much more expensive & bulky I really considered 
building a machine inside a filing cabinet or inside the metal desk with 
built-in file drawer.  Amd that is the main item in this project using the
Ikea build cabinet to house the very high powered render farm instead of
using a standard rack with separate chassis for each individual unit.

	Amiga used to be a main component of render farms in those distant
days and for some years after CBM collapsed.
