Computer Forensics Lab Project - Network Racks cleaned up

My current project is coming to an end. I just finished up connecting and organizing cables. I did not post a lot of details, but there was a strict deadline for the project. I still did not finish everything, but here's how the network racks are looking right now:


Neat and organized cables with a lot of free space between the equipment.


Here's the closer look up front:




and from the back:



I decided to use the color codes for the cables. Green cables are the ones that connect every workstation to the network along with the servers. White cables are cross-over cables that are connecting the switches, and the blue cable connects the domain, DHCP, and other services server.

We have bunch of HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Servers ready to be imaged and deployed for the student use. Each one of them consists of three 300GB hard drives. I'm planning to image them with Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012 operating systems. It would be fun for the next couple of days. Hopefully I will be able to find some time and post some pictures.




For the end, the look of the lab itself, as of today:
