Ghetto server in drawer (56k beware)

To get my linux server off the floor and out of the way, i decided to put it into one of the drawers on my desk In this process, i've found that .5" of wood is MUCH better for sound dampening than 1/16" of steel case
I did an uber-ghetto job, the only thing it's missing is duct tape, but i didn't even have any - all the more ghetto
so - here's the pics (served off that very machine)

it's a PII 400 mhz slot 1, weird thing, was passive cooling no problem in a compaq super-mini-tower case too small to contain everything in it, wires everywhere no ventilation etc, so i was surprised with the heat issues when i moved it to the drawer which is much more open. Now there's a fan on the HS and another in the back pushing air up and out of the drawer (gotta borrow a saw or drill or something to get it mounted right) but 3 fans and it's still silent

Truthfully, back in the day I really wanted to put rigs in my dresser drawers. I could fit 2 in each and with 5 drawers that's 10 total.
