Ahhh! --------------------------^^^^^^^^
I was trying to imagine how the box for a *single* pizza could possibly be useful deep. Some come with lids, while others are just open trays.
OK, different form factor (narrower opening, deeper).
--------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If I had a "separate space" for work related stuff, the gravitational field would probably be highly distorted in its vicinity! :> (i.e., I learned not to have too much "storage space" lest you end up storing too much *in* it! :> )
Ah, I only keep what *I* will (personally) use.
(sigh) There was a time when I was looking for WE 500/2500 sets.
I hang onto cables because I don't want to have to *make* any! Just too damn much work for what it's worth, usually.
So, I keep a good assortment of various types of cables in various lengths. The only ones I have in short supply are the nice 12" wide SCSI cables. :<
I have two of the vacutainer boxes set aside for "unmatched" wall warts/bricks. Anything that *needs* a wall wart/brick has that stored with it.
OTOH, there are times when I need a standalone power supply for some bit of kit. If I am lucky, I'll have a supply in one of the boxes *with* the right connector. If not, I'll find a suitable supply and cut the existing connector off and replace it with another.
(I presently have to do that with a pair of external HD enclosures that are missing their power packs)
I typically only keep one of each type of keyboard as a spare. Recently, however, my spare PS2 keyboard was used to replace one that developed a flakey spacebar. Unfortunately, I didn't think to replace the *spare* at the time! :<
Yesterday, I needed to power down one of my headless servers and discovered that it's keyboard had given up the ghost. So, I had to resort to powering it down remotely.
Not all of my machines run GUI's.
I can telnet/ssh to any of them and shut down that way. But, that means having to turn *on* a second computer
*just* to telnet to the *first*!If, instead, I leave a keyboard attached to each, I can simply type (without *seeing* what I'm typing):
root
shutdown -p now (or whatever)
wait a few seconds for confirmation that the box *is* shutting down...
