Hey guys,
So a while back while doing some yard work for my Dad, I found we have some old sliding glass doors. Instantly being the DIY kinda guy that I am, I made a desk out of it, and I must say, it looks pretty good for my standards. However, It's not good enough for my liking. I'll post some pics in the end of this post. Heres what I was thinking though, to make the desk look uber nerdy, what I want to do is find a whole bunch of circuit boards (doesn't matter from what), spray paint them all white or black, and trace the circuitry with a UV reactive pen in blue and green. The problem is, I have no idea where to find enough circuit boards, that and I have no extra cash for it. I looked on craigslist, but so far no luck. I also wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions for the desk. I just want it appealing and flashy. The circuit boards are just for looks. Anyways, heres the pic. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll98/DuroMentis/DSC03945.jpg
My only focus at the moment is underneath the glass. I have a black sheet under it right now. Basically when and if I get all the circuit boards, I'll have a wooden board a few inches underneat the glass and hot glue all the circuit boards to the wood. Any other ideas are welcome too! Thanks.
