One of my friends swears he never closes Chrome and that he has many tens of tabs open 24/7. I only break double-digits when I'm doing deep research into a topic. Otherwise I close all my tabs that I'm not using. I might be in the minority though, I also have inbox 0.

$250 4 post 25u rack, I'm using it myself. Love it.

but... home lab?

B&H has some gear for cheap but most is shallow. I know the struggle was look for a rack for my server that is 30in long and everything is so expensive. really this cheap piece of metal costs 200$??
you can by ralls and screw them into 4x4 or 2x4 and make a diy frame

all enterprise gear, even stuff that doesn't functionally do anything, has a high margin. That being said, the BOM cost of a good rack might only be 1/5 of its final cost (not saying that it is), but the labor and shipping costs of such a thing are pretty high.
 
Make sure you are looking at kit racks, not pre-assembled ones. pre-assembled racks cost 2-3 times more and the shipping is a lot more expensive too.

This. Do you know how much a cardboard box goes for at the store? A few bucks. Do you know how much a cardboard box for a server goes for on eBay? $100 (not exaggerating, I've paid $100 PLUS SHIPPING for server boxes before).

Also there's a reason why people build DIY server cabinets out of IKEA furniture.

Check Craigslist, I'm seeing a 42U for $80 in Englewood and another for $250 in Colorado Springs. I'll also keep an eye out for if any of my data centers in Denver have any extras to get rid of.

hunt of craigslist. I got a 12u rack filled with servers and switches and a pdu and kvm with monitor for 180. 
 
Also normally the 42u's are cheaper as there used datacenter suff, not many people are buying little ones. 
 
 
Also for remote pcs, id run thinclients and use ethernet instead of thunderbolt. Normally better support, cheaper, switches, and faster.
 

like maybe 3 or more some day, a nas, router, switch, patch panel and a few extras. It's something I'm interested in getting into.

Depending on the equipment planned etc a rack can make sense at home, maybe not a 42U+ monster but it certainly is nicer to rackmount that type of equipment properly.
 
I plan on getting a rack for my equipment as I have quite a few servers (3 in parts atm) plus rackmount switches and firewall. I also have a lot of cabling through the house that needs to come back to a central point so a proper patch panel is going to be used. All up about 5-6 4U servers, AT-x900-24XS, FortiGate 60D, Aruba Controller (yet to buy), Cisco SG300, Eaton UPS's (yet to buy), 24 port patch panel, dual vertical PDU, cable management arms for the servers, patch cable management and likely other things I missed out but more than enough to fill a decent sized rack.

you want free software? then no.

I use Malwarebytes along with windows 10's defender (the built in one)

There will be a Super Mario Black/White New 3DS on Black Friday for $100. 
 
I don't expect there to be a new 3DS any time soon since Nintendo is probably going to focus on the Switch. 

Sennheiser IE80 don't isolate for shit. So there's that.
 
Also, the early Bose earbuds were open back. Not sure if they still make that model, but they definitely were pretty much totally open if you like that.
 
Another option is the KOSS porta pro. They're on ear, but they're super comfortable by all accounts, and they are open back... (also, they're supposed to be pretty much the best things since sliced bread in the sub-$50 mark.)

Yeah, seems like a classic linux fanboy argument...
"windows sucks because idk, its not linux"
 
OP is biased/10

Can't answer this poll because of question 5.

I voted for the turnip one because you can think of it as a throwaway vote.

How dare you make me answer yes for question #5

By making Linux exactly like Windows apparently.  Seems like a backwards approach.  Ya know, like making all dogs look like cats so as to make dogs more popular than cats as household pets.
