It was definitely a proud moment once the loops were done. Using the Koolance quick-disconnects makes everything quickly interchangeable. Thats what I needed to switchout mobos/gpus/etc. Its easier to bench this way than on a cardboard box with a DICE/LN2 pot on it.

Ain't nothin bedder than home made!

I wonder what ur wife thinks about all that if ur married mine gives me dirty looks all the time.

Wife: "Hun, where'd the shelf go that was in the living room"
Overclockaholic: "Um, I dunno? One of the kids musta moved it"
Wife: "Where, I can't find it in house"
Overclockaholic: "Dunno" (scrambles to shut office door)
Wife: "No you didn't!".........."HUN!"
Overclockaholic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sick and need help, please forgive me"
Wife: "Thats it! I'm sending you to rehab!"
Overclockaholic: " Overclockaholics.com? " sign10

Kool, we're looking at hosting some game servers in the near future :D

Yea thats cool! Get someone to host team speak too!! I know we got some cod players and all of my friends play that as well. They all come over and i always make the wifey cook hot pockets or meatloaf or something lol!

[Josifek]

It looks nice. But if it was me, i would not cut the bottom shelfs and leave the "benchtable" as a standalone piece of furniture... You could use the shelf space for storing HW and equipment that you need to have close. ;)

[Neuromancer]

Yah I am pondering that myself. My desk is always getting cluttered with OS install disks, flash drives full of drivers, usb drives full of software, screwdrivers, needle nose, sticks of ram, video cards, coffee cups/ber cans.

And thats now that I replaced the 6' bench table to a 3' wide "shelf" was really crazy before with all kinds of modding stuff, empty PC carcasses etc etc


Dunno if I should convert my TV stand to a top level bench or mid level. top gives me the bottom for storage but not room for IO devices. Mid gives me room for IO but no storage *sigh

I have a feeling it is just going to become a computer desk for the kids

[MaadDaawg]

I've taken over our home office.... the wife refuses to come in cause there's parts, tools, and boxes everywhere :confused3: Works out okay for me, but if she comes in she freaks out, so I always meet her at the door. bought her a wireless laptop so she can compute upstairs.. lol

Shortly, I'll get my basement laboratory once the daughter moves out :D

[youngpro]

wow thats really nice... similar to mine except yours DOESNT suck like mine ;)

i really gotta spend some time one day and make something proper

[Kal-EL]

Thx :taunt:
