"Holy crap!" \Achmed the Dead Terrorist

Love this one:

View attachment 27527

My coffee table is half inch clear Plexi atop 840AV-n-8500 cases. Or is that a bench? Love it!

I did this IRL as well (no I did not take a picture LOL derp). It worked really well except you have to worry about squishing the feet as I am 6'4" 280 pounds which those are not really designed to support I dont think LOL. I also tend to land pretty hard on chairs being taller. I fixed this by just sitting the PMs (what I used) on left over pieces of 2x6 planks of wood the length of the PMs so the feet were ever so slightly off the ground. Hmm, I should build a new real one with nice finished woods and some sort of rolling-foot solution. That would be a fun project

OR, this is an excuse to start inhaling unwanted PMG5s and cMPs to build the COOLEST retro computer collection shelf EVER!!

@wottle this app looks really cool. Great work. excited to give it a try.

Yeah, it was largely decorative so didn’t have to worry about the weight / impact of sitting down on it all the time, but I suspect a proper thickness board between the leg and the case would keep it from bucking.

As for the shelving, I considered stacking to make my shelving out of it, but that would be a massive, and heavy setup. Also, I’ve never been able to find a cheap source for the G5’s, so it could get very expensive for me.
