alt Hacker NewsLove how a €7.5k 20 kilogram server is placed on a €5 particleboard table. I have owned several LACKs but would never put anything valuable on it. IKEA rates them at 25 kilogram maximum load.

LACK tables specifically are well proven to be quite sturdy actually. They happen to be just the right width for servers / network devices, and so people have used them for that purpose for ages. Search for "LACK rack", or see e.g. https://wiki.eth0.nl/index.php/LackRack. 20kg is nothing; I've personally put >100kg on top.

Oh no, thats not right. 20 Kg was in the original server case. With the Aluminium frames, and glass panel, its more like 40 Kg now... Shit, maybe I should take it off the Lack table...
