Wow. nice job on the prize brigade. 

I think it depends on what your goal is. If you want to do penetration testing, do the CEH. If you're not quite sure what you want to do, I'd suggest the Security+.

Ya know, if your device is not meant to be rack mountable, it usually comes with little rubber feet. Just set it on top of the pile in the rack. Unless you have to move the rack around a bunch, you don't even need velcro.

Similarly, on the cheap, since you only have 7 devices, have you considered a reliable but inexpensive surge strip (or two) and some foam tape? Just stick it in the rack somewhere where it won't in the way.

Caution: The cheapest options tend to be only outlet strips and do not provide surge protection.

From the http://www.sptoolkit.com/ website:
"Researchers sent simulated phishing messages to employees at more than 3,500 small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) and found that recipients at nearly 500 companies, or 15 percent, clicked on a link contained in the message."

(my 2cents) Of the 85% who did not click the link, 80% called the helpdesk to ask  whether the message was safe to open and/or whether they should click the link.

The Simple Phishing toolkit looks like an intriguing project.

Drat, and here I am, logging in (finally) on the last day of the month. Doesn't speak well for my chances, does it. Drat and double drat.
