looking really nice man
I Agree looks really good! Cables need managed. . but other than that Great Job!
If you got some nice edging that would really finish it off
Haven't looked in this thread in a while, but kickass work dude. I like it.
Thx guys.
Now I am discovering ... having spent £35 on the glass ..I'm looking at another £35 for the hinges!!! Thats nearly $150 on the top. Damn. Yet she looks good and it's only getting better.
Aside from getting the finishes I want, there be a plan to install a Slave HTPC/media server in there next. Slaves! She wants slaves. I can't get my X2 4200 to beat an Intel chip but I can put more computers in that case. I'm contemplating how much storage I would need for the rest of my life and reckon 5TB should do it. What dya think?
:)
ps :( I said no one mention ....
that looks really slick, aside from the wood haha, but i like the combo.
you need some wiring neatness in place though :) i never mentioned those words as said :)
+rep for it!
If i were you I'd build a timber top for the desk with a rebate in to take the glass. Not only would it look fantastic but it would be a lot easier to hinge if you really need it.
If you don't get what I'm on about let me know and I'll do a quick sketch :)
Thanks for all the support guys :)Quote:

Plus I have realised I want the inside of the drawer and all the grey metal painted black so things are really, nearly, invisible til the lights come on.

Dammit and I thought I was a step ahead of you!!!!
