ikea bread bin with serverThere truly is something for everyone in this world. I would never have thought to combine kitchen storage with geeky computer stuff, but this idea is well worth crossing the two. After thinking it over, it makes perfect sense to store your server in your extra bread bin.

The tutorial for this project is quite clever -- and clear enough for even the most challenged of DIYers.

Once the server is safely tucked in its new home it can live there relatively dust free and out of harm's way.
