&lt;p>Shortly after moving in to my house, I opted to use a room for my Geekery (formerly known as &amp;ldquo;Nerdery&amp;rdquo;).. I dedicated circuit for power installed to make this closet remotely suitable to set up my hacky server &amp;ldquo;rack&amp;rdquo; (AKA Ikea Shelf) in.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Update (Apr 26)&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This hack has been posted on Hackaday, Howtogeek and geeknmod (I suppose some others too).

The process went fairly perfectly with one major flaw. Upon rebooting my upgraded system, my video driver for xorg was no longer functioning properly. The solution was to remotely login through ssh, download &amp;amp; install the latest driver (from here) and then reboot again.
