USDATACENTERLIST.com and our sister company SilverBack Migration Solutions, Inc. are co-sponsoring a contest to find the *best*, custom/jerry-rigged/awesome crash cart.

A good friend and long time customer sent me a picture of their newest crash cart, nicknamed “Johnny” and it got me thinking, what else have people come up with?

So send in your submissions, and please hang a note on the monitor that says “Pick Me” so we know it is really your crash cart!

We are accepting entries through December 15th and then we will post our top 5 for voting by our users.

The winner will be declared on April 15, 2010 (Yeah Tax Day!!) and will receive a $200.00 Amazon Gift Card and a 10% coupon for a future SilverBack Migration Solutions project.

For those of you tracking this contest from Q4 2009, we pushed the date from Q1 2010 to Q2 2010 to ensure the data center community had enough time to get their entries submitted.

Send all entries to pickme@teamsilverback.com and keep an eye out for us to post our favorites!

Bonus points for entries submitted via YouTube video!!

All entries must include: Photo or video of your crash cart, brief description/story behind your crash cart, submitter name, company name, e-mail, phone and physical address to qualify.

While it looks like this picture was taken from a cell phone camera, it does show a fairly interesting setup.

From what I can determine from the picture, the keyboard is sitting on top of an older Dell 2RU server, while the monitor is propped up against something. I can't quite tell if that is a keyboard with a touchpad in front of the CD drive...

Certainly not something you can buy in a catalog, but not quite a Johnny either...what else do you guys have out there?
