    Default Upgrading my "Computer Corner"

    Problem:

    Currently, my systems are spread across half of our computer area (roughly 1/3rd of our living room) in our apartment. While I am able to control the server remotely, I don't wish to enable remote access on any of the other machines.

    Solution (WIP)

    Tonight, I cleaned a large portion of my work table off. This is where I am currently at:



    The table itself is 60" long by 36" wide. I snagged the top half of the computer desk from work, as it was destined for the trash. Sadly, my 22" monitor will not fit in there, so I am faced with two choices: either move the supporting wall in the middle to the side a bit or build a whole new top half from scratch. Of the two, building a new shelving system seems to be the more logical of the two, as I will be able to accommodate both the router and the cable modem into the final design. I also plan on looking into casters for the bottoms of the table itself, as my filing cabinet server will not fit underneath. Raising the table up a few inches will not only accommodate the FCS, but will also allow for a keyboard tray to be attached underneath the table as well.

    Once I decide on the final design, I shall ask the mods to move this to the WIP section of the website. Hopefully, this request will go through very soon.

    That's part of my testbed. I've got a POS GE keyboard that matches it.

    Somebody spams them, the spam posts get reported and removed. The post saying "reported" is just so everybody knows that it has already been reported.

    It's not really gone, it just gets canned and sold at you local grocery store.
