A different sort of project
« on: September 12, 2016, 06:40:00 PM »
The following is what happens when a person with OCD builds something for themselves. I had been needing a desk for my PC because I had been just using a small shelf, so I built this. started out with a 4ft piece of glass from an old aquarium and about$40 in wood and a 4ft cloth flag/banner from one of my fav movies "The Expendables". Built the wood desk into basically a large shadow box with the glass sitting in a recessed channel lined with felt, then the banner 4" below it lit up with RGB LED's that can change to any color via remote control. Moved over a 40' led TV with 23" side monitors for dual monitors, illuminated keyboard, added my 2TB external HD loaded with tons of movies (yes one of them is The Expendables) , and even a folding cup holder for good measure.
