I've been reliably informed that it's awful, and will need to be sorted out properly at some point.
It's one of those points in time which will probably never arrive

Quote from: axisofevil I bet that not all the wires actually do anything.
Saddly about 98% do, but worse than that, not a single one is marked, so if anything goes down or needs moved it's a game of "follow the cable" also there was an inital plan to for colour coding that went right out the window at some point as well, it's a total free for all.
@Barry - you get payed way too much

LOL - I wish.
This is a render farm I'm installing at Pinewood Studios, not my own personal server room (although, it is MINE, I tell you!)
I shall continue updating pictures as we proceed

Shocking - during my apprenticeship we had to learn to layup cables and secure them with plastic covered nylon cord, and no cables were allowed to cross. These days most people seem to use tie wraps.
Pierre - I see you have an earth wire :), but where does it go to - ( OK to earth perhaps , but how ? - hope it's not to the ac mains earth) And copper water pipes are not necessarily any good as they are plastic pipes underground and are probably connected to the mains earth.
I understand that most domestic premises don't have a proper earth, like a long rod driven into the ground, or an earth mat of buried coper wire / pipe.

I think it would be good if building regulations specified a decent earth spike on all new properties, given the huge amount of electronic gismos we have these days.
