- IKEA's BILLY bookshelves can hold Baby AT and Micro ATX motherboards.
- Boards can be placed on corkboards or mouse pads for easy access.
- Expansion cards can remain installed, saving setup time.
- Shelves have space for drives and cables, with glass doors to protect from dust and bumps.
- PicoPSU power supplies in ISA slots could allow boards to be used directly on shelves.
- Potential setup includes a KVM to manage IO from multiple boards to a desk.
- Plans to create an ASCII art diagram of the setup.
