Racks what's all the hype about?, all they are is shelfs.
I have a few shelfs myself like not rubbish, Ikea quality.

Some have power/network outlets right next to each server allowing easy access. Also they let hosts host about 40 servers per rack (using 1U cases) instead of 5 minitowers.

Yes but there still shelfs.
Do you think Rackshack got a few pounds off Ikea?  .
Shouldn't be called racks because that just makes them sound good. They should be called what they are which is shelfs.

Rackspace would have to change their name to Shelfspace then.

I they should or it's wrong advertising.
I don't want to put anyone off Rackshack though, i wouldn't want consumers to think there server could fall off the shelfs because they won't since Ikea sells only good quality shelfs.

Maybe Ikea should partner up with a webhost and create Ikea-branded colocation?

I think its ok to be an addict to "racks", but being an addict to webhosting racks would be weird. Don't you agree?
