The “Hack Rack” consists of a bunch of shelves where members can put things they don't need, but think others might find useful. It occupies the north wall of the East Room. You might find an old DVD player, switches, motors, power supplies, strong magnets, or, well, pretty much anything. It's all up for grabs. See something you like? Grab it! It's there because no one had a use for it. If you can use it, please do. :)
If you leave something on the Hack Rack, you should take something of equal volume off.
