One of the tricks that we have found with third party brackets is you can break out your trusty drill, . . . cardboard does give you certain DIY cred all it's own.
By the way, thanks for the tip. I did end up making a better mount from another bracket I had.
Indy, I hope you knew I was kidding about the toothpicks, just playing off your comment on DIY. I do love DIY. I really don't watch Martha Stewart any more. Moved on to "Love It or List It" (at least my wife did).
I read the comment on the way into the last day of PRI-MED LA, so I didn't get to respond yesterday, but you had me howling!
Several of the Docs that I have met since getting involved with AC users are tinkers.
We are building out a new server for a client after we help them find the base server in Dell Outlet - the Doctor approach to poppin' some tags.
The Doctor was talking how intrigued he is by the whole process, so the server will be shipped to his office, and then we will show up with all the additional parts and tools, and build out the server on a desk in his office while he sees patients.
My guess is that he will want to try his hand at parts of the build, and his MAs are going to be a bit bugged with us by the end of the day, but he will have a much better understanding of all the parts, which will serve him well as well and satisfy his intellectual curiosity. The host operating system will be Red Hat (or it's free twin CENTOS), and so he will get to learn how to navigate around the RH GUI interface and tweak things.
All-in-all, it will be a long day, but another DIY'er will get both what he needs and what he wants, and it is always a treat for me to work with someone who has a quick mind and enjoys learning.
